A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

5 PAGE ARTICLE

L. Caruana

      In early October 1997, a black-framed notice in the Dutch newspapers announced the death of ‘Angèle Thérèse Van Den Berg Blomjous -- Diana -- painter’.
      At the age of 74, this gifted and dynamic woman had left behind a large number of uniquely inspired works, as well as a surprising number of students whom she had inspired - Frans Erkelens, Axel Kreher, Fred Hansen, Alice Buis - all artists well-known within Holland.
      Diana was also remembered as the wife for sixteen years of the greatest Dutch visionary artist to emerge during their generation. But much of her life remains a mystery.
      Born Angèle Thérèse Blomjous on April 1, 1923, her interest in spirituality began when her mother took her on a pigrimmage to Lourdes, where the young Angèle was deeply affected by the charged atmosphere. This interest in spirituality combined with a passion for painting, which led her eventually to the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague.
