Louise Marie (Lou) Loeber (Amsterdam, 3 May 1894 – Blaricum, 1 February 1983) was a Dutch artist
Besides being a painter, she was also a draftsman, illustrator,engraver and glass painted. She worked in abstract-figurative and non-figurative, and also with lino technique. Name variations are: Lou King-Loeber, Lou King, Louise Loeber, Loe Loeber.
The painter Lou Loeber was a committed Socialist at a very young age. Based on her political convictions, her objective was to create a kind of art that would be accessible to many, or ‘available to everyone’ as she herself put it. For this purpose she chose an objective, Cubist idiom with simple, geometrically determined areas of colour in bright tones. She did not decide on these colours because they were realistically appropriate but because of the effect they might have on the observer’s mood. To some extent, her work is similar to De Stijl, although she never abandoned visible reality altogether.
