Charley Toorop (1891-1955) was a female Dutch painter and lithographer.

‘Throughout her career, and specially in her later years, Toorop painted flowers and still lives. Charley was trained by her famous father Jan Toorop. She was a close friend of Piet Mondrian and exhibited from an early age alongside great names such as Braque, Cezanne and Picasso.

”Is the natural appearance reality”, she wondered in 1917, “or can we sense in its form only the most unreal appears before us? This unreal, which is the most real”
