Geer van Velde (Lisse, 1898 - 1977, Cachan) was a Dutch painter who spent most of his lifetime in France. In his twenties, Geer joined his brother Bram van Velde in Paris and started painting figurative works. With help of the Irish writer Samuel Beckett, Geer succeeded to get his first solo exhibition in the gallery of P. Guggenheim with kubist paintings. He then went to southern France where he started to develop his own abstract-geometric style with matte colors. With Paris as the epicentrum of western art in the first half of the 20th century, Geer was one of the prominent artists in the postwar Paris school.
