Dutch painter Gijs Kramer received an Honorable Mention for his painting Renners bij Regenweer (Riders in Rain) at the 1936 Art Competitions in the paintings category. In 1948 he participated again in the paintings category with the “Street Racer Looking Around”, a tempera painting, as his only documented entry. He was also represented at the 1952 art exhibition in Helsinki with a similar topic, the oil painting “Cycling Competition”. Kramer was a painter and draftsman who worked in a naturalistic style, portraying figure shows, sports and playing scenes, still lifes, landscapes, seascapes, and scenes in towns and villages. He studied at the Royal Academy of Art in Den Haag from 1929, where he was also a member of the art associations Pulchri and Haagsche Kunstkring.
