Cornelis Doelman (1904–1972) was a Dutch art critic and historian who played a significant role in the documentation and analysis of Dutch and European art in the mid-20th century. He began his career in art criticism around 1945, notably serving as a critic for the Nieuwe Rotterdamse Courant. His scholarly interests were diverse, ranging from the history of ceramics and Jugendstil to modern masters like Wassily Kandinsky. Doelman was recognized for his ability to contextualize art within historical and social frameworks, as evidenced by his contributions to museum journals and his publications on the reconstruction of Dutch cities following World War II. His bibliography includes historical surveys of European art, specialized studies on ceramics, and critical analyses of contemporary art movements.[1,2]
