Marie Heijermans or Marie de Roode-Heijermans (1859-1937) was a Dutch painter.
Heijermans was born on 14 October 1859 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. [1] Among her ten siblings were educator Ida Heijermans, writer Herman Heijermans and community physician Louis Heiermans. [2] [3] She studied at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten ( Royal Academy of Art, The Hague) and Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten Academy of Visual Arts, Rotterdam. One of her teachers was Jan Philip Koelman. [4] She also studied with included Ernest Blanc-Garin in Brussels. [5] She was a member of Cercle des Femmes Peintres, a society for women artists. [6] Sal Meijer was a pupil of hers. [4]
While in Brussels Heijermans achieved success at the Paris Salon. She subsequently painted Victime de la misère depicting a nude woman, a clothed man, and chair with a bank note placed on it. The image was censored by the Belgian king and removed from an exhibition. The scandal resulted in the premature ending of her three-year work grant from the Belgian Queen Regent. The painting was purchased in the late 1920s by the Stedelijk Museum where it caused a new scandal having been purchased by taxpayer's money. It was removed from view. [5]
In 1899 she married the journalist and fellow socialist Justus Johannes de Roode (1865-1945). The couple resided in Amsterdam. Heijermans was a member of the Social Democratic Workers' Party (Netherlands) and was interested in bringing art to the people. She was a board member of the Kunst aan het Volk. In 1919 the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam held a retrospective of her work.
From 1920 through 1926 Heijermans lived in Geneva with her husband, who was then working for the International Labour Organization. [5]
Heijermans died on 26 October 1937 in Amsterdam. [7]
In 1993 the Vakbondsmuseum (Trade Unions Museum) in Amsterdam held an exhibition of her work Een vergeten vrouw. De kunstenares Marie de Roode-Heijermans which included the controversial Victime de la misère. [5]
