- Johannes Leonardus (Jan) Kagie (The Hague, 2 October 1907 – Amsterdam, 31 December 1991) was a Dutch painter and draftsman.
Life and work
Kagie (also: Jan Kagie jr.) was a son of Johannes Leonardus Kagie (1885-1960). He learned the basics of painting from his father, but was otherwise self-taught. In 1937 he moved to Rolde. He came into contact with the painters of the artists' collective De Ploeg. Together with a number of Drenthe colleagues, including Reinhart Dozy, Anton Heyboer and Hein Kray, he founded the art circle De Drentse Schilders in 1946. In 1948 he made a trip with Heyboer through France. The following year he settled in Amsterdam, where he would live until his death.
Kagie painted mainly figurative, landscapes, interiors and still lifes, but his work became more abstract after he settled in Amsterdam. He was a member of the Association of Visual Artists and Arti et Amicitiae and was awarded the Arti medal in 1984.
