Henri Christophe Charles (Carel) to the Nerée Babberich (Zevenaar, March 18 1880 - Todtmoos, October 19 1909) was a Dutch artist and painter. he autodidact The Nerée belonged to the flow of the symbolism.

The Nerée was born in Zevenaar on Huize Babberich as the son of Frederick Nerée to Babberich (1851-1882) and Constance van Houten (1858-1930). He came from an old noble family and had two brothers: Richard (1878-1945) and Frans (1882-1929).

Writer and artist

In his period De Nerée began drawing and writing. Initially he had literary rather than visual ambitions but would end up being a visual artist. Posthumous were still two French poems published in La Revue de Hollande. From what has been abandoned to literary work of the Nerée that he very much inspired by "decadent" authors such as Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Gabriele d'Annunzio, Pierre Louys or Camille Mauclair.A similar inspiration is also reflected in his visual work is quite exceptional in the Netherlands in the years around 1900.

In 1901, the Nerée as Secrétaire du Consulat des Pays-Bas to work in Madrid, he goes there but catches TBC: a disease that would determine his further life. In Madrid Booven From looking at him and will do little veiled report in his novel A Love in Spain (1928). "Joris van Ree" The Nerée and it is "Frans van Hove Olde 'From Booven. The Van Booven Nerée would also deal all his life and the friends have a great influence on each other anyway. The Nerée From Booven inspired to write (including the (prose) poems White Nights, 1901, the novel Tropenwee 1904) and Van De Booven donates Nerée The Early Work (1899) by Aubrey Beardsley, initially, together with Francisco Goya and Jan Toorop , the biggest impact on the Neres style. Later, as is apparent from his use of color, he is more loose and that influence shows he is an original representative of the European Symbolist and Decadent movement. He remains an exceptional artist who is difficult to place in a framework with a very personal, unmistakable identity that not everyone was given and which may tempt him quickly as strange and "on-hollands characterized. During his life he received little recognition from him and nothing was displayed. In its immediate vicinity few knew that the dandy also was an artist. A ouevre catalog is missing work to date but his entire oeuvre is estimated at around 300-400 works. At an auction in the twenties became the Neres work well dispersed, leaving little overview on the whole of his oeuvre.Anyway missing to date his work generally that the survey also vermoeilijkt.

Illness and death

In 1901 Nerée leaves due to a fragile health to a spa in Arosa. He lives the last eight years of his life, fighting against his illness, including in spas in Switzerland, Germany and Italy. The summer he usually brings in The Hague and the Dutch Babberich (on Huize Camphuysen). In 1903, De Nerée addition drawings, designs for everyday objects like fans and vases. Unfortunately this is as good as anything delivered. After his poor health in 1904 is drawing and painting it ever more difficult. But he remains highly artistic development. The works from this period are characterized by their colors and such are his best and most unique work. The gold nuances and symbolism of these works often recall associations with Klimt and Moreau. In 1905 he manages to sell some work in Germany. He dies on October 19, 1909 in the southern German kuroord Todtmoos and is buried in Clarens near Montreux.

Reception

During his lifetime no exhibition of De Nerée has taken place. The first exhibition of his work took place one year after his death. The nature of his work, the Beardsley-replication and thus the 'decadent' character, set the Nerée naturally in a somewhat isolated position in art history. During the twentieth century, however several times his work exhibited and has received a small crowd of admirers. To the general public the "Dutch Aubrey Beardsley" remains a mostly unknown talent.

The myth goes that he wrote a  novel called "Bourgeoisie"but burned the manuscript. The Dutch writer [[Wim Meulenkamp]] this has inspired in 2004 the story ''The Nerée writes'' in his book ''Literary Life''. Posthumous were still two French poems published in La Revue de Hollande.
