People in a Boat, Moonlight, 1967
Albertus Antonius Johannes Houthuesen known as Albert Houthuesen was a Dutch-born British artist. He was the son of artist and musician Jean Charles Pierre Houthuesen.
In 1921, he made the first of three trips to Holland, spending time with an uncle, the painter and potter Bernard Boeziek. He became a British citizen in 1922.
Thanks to William Rothenstein, principal of the Royal College of Art, Houthuesen was eventually able to obtain a scholarship to attend the RCA between 1924 and 1927, with contemporaries Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Edward Burra, Ceri Richards and Cecil Collins. Rothenstein invited Houthuesen to stay when his deeply unhappy home life prevented him from studying effectively.
