Biography
Jan van Munster is a visual artist. He studied at the Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in Rotterdam and Ateliers’63 in Haarlem. Central to his work is the imagination of both rational and emotional energy. In addition to ‘energy’, the (film) material is also a major theme. Likewise, energy here is not only the subject, but also the material. We see this reflected in the films Cirkels 1 and Cirkels 2, which are two of the ten films that Munster made in 1972-1973.
