Herman Nieweg (April 13, 1932 in Steenwijkerwold – May 28, 1999 in Portugal) was a Dutch sculptor and ceramist.[1][2]

3 Columns with bird with children in Assen.

Life and work

Nieweg studied interior design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam. His teacher Frieda Koch brought him into contact with ceramics. As an artist Nieweg is autodidact.

From the 1960s to the 1980s Nieweg lived and worked in Giethoorn, where he ran his own pottery studio.[3] In the 1990s he moved to Monchique in Portugal, where he built several large ovens. He died a few years later at the age of 67.

Much of Nieweg's work was done in ceramics, examples are the reliefs he made for Zwolle and Heino.

gollark: To clarify, it searches a dataset of goose images, and is not a search engine *for* geese.
gollark: CLIP works impressively well for a goose search engine on another server I'm on except that it apparently doesn't get left and right.
gollark: I wonder if you could make reverse image search for them work well by just throwing all the images at CLIP.
gollark: Apparently other languages have better vocabulary for smells.
