Willem van Genk (1927–2005) was a Dutch artist and a leading representative of what is known as Art Brut. He briefly attended the Royal Academy of Art in Den Haag but left without obtaining a degree. Railroad stations play a central role in his graphically complex oeuvre. Van Genk’s work has been shown at the American Folk Art Museum, New York, the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and elsewhere.
