aka: Adya van Rees, Adya Dutilh, Adriana van Rees-Dutilh Adriana Catharina Dutilh (born Rotterdam, June 7,1876; died Utrecht, Oct. 11, 1959), textile artist, painter, graphic artist. Daughter of François Dutilh (1849-1924), businessman, and Catharina Adriana Jonkheijm (1851-1928). Adriana Dutilh married 6-4-1909 in Courbevoie (France) with artist Otto van Rees (1884-1957). From this marriage, 2 daughters and 1 son were born. Adriana (Adya) Dutilh was the second of 7 children in a wealthy Rotterdam patrician family. Two sisters and a brother died as children. The family moved several times. Between 1886 and 1890 Adya received drawing lessons from Barbara van Houten in The Hague and between 1896 and 1900 from Ernest Blanc-Garin in Brussels. Here she perfected her characteristic style and learned a lot about the use of various techniques. In Brussels, Adya was in leftist-libertine circles and developed anti-bourgeois and anti-capitalist ideas. Adya Dutilh's work is located in, among other places, Centraal Museum (Utrecht), Gemeentemuseum (The Hague) and Art Museum (Basel, Switzerland), as well as in the Collection Kuitenbrouwer-van Rees and other private collections.
