He became known as ‘Frank Lloyd Wils’ because of his admiration for the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, although Wils’s designs were too original to be judged as derivative.
Wils was unable to build much in the early 1920s because of financial difficulties, but he developed several designs of horizontal, flat-roofed buildings of brick and concrete, with small but strongly defined vertical elements, large, steel-framed windows and very detailed ornament.
His later works of 1925–35 showed the influence of Functionalism, for example the Olympic Stadium (1928), Amsterdam, which had a heavily walled appearance, the Citroen building (1929) and the Cinema City theatre (1935), both in Amsterdam; the latter used a steel frame and was hailed as a prime example of functionalist building.

Two weeks ago, he wrote a letter to Downtown Express objecting to Wils' comment that her son would feel Downtown would turn into a cemetery if the World Trade Center debris were brought back to the site.
Wils, who is also the chairperson of Community Board 1, is opposed to the Fresh Kills idea, but said she has never opposed the idea of bringing remains back to the site for the memorial, as the rest of the L.M.D.C. board also favors.
Owens said it bothered her that C.B. 1 was treated as a "vilified group," with chairperson Wils "taking the hit" for the board as a whole.

Born in Haarlem, he received instruction from his father, Pieter Claesz, and from the painters Jan Van Goyen and Jan Wils, among others.
His pictures, of which he produced an immense number (Hofstede de Groot claimed around 850, although many are misattributed), were in great demand, as were also his etchings and drawings.
His landscapes, often painted in the Italian style of idealized rural scenes, are highly esteemed; and many of them have been finely engraved by Jan Visscher.

Wils was well known in the sporting world.
Wils opted for elongated, almost cubist openings; long, broad flower boxes; and projecting pentices in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose architecture enjoyed extreme popularity in the Netherlands prior to World War II.
In 1937 Wils even added an extra layer of stands to the shell of the structure, an extension that increased the seating capacity of the stadium from the original 34,000 to 64,000.

 A New Life for Amsterdam’s ‘Olympisch Stadion’   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It commissioned architect Jan Wils, who was a protege of H.P. Berlage, the famous architectural innovator best known for his namesake “Beurs” (stock exchange) just off the Dam in the city center.
Wils created an elegant structure, very much in the “functional” style of the time, with a capacity for 34,000 spectators.
Its smooth lines and brick construction made it an integral part of Berlage’s Plan Zuid, the large residential area directly adjacent to the Stadium, which Berlage, whose architectural ideas were strongly imbued by his socialist principles, designed for the new middle-class of the time.

The name De Stijl, title of a magazine founded in the Netherlands in 1917, is now used to identify the abstract art and functional architecture of its major contributors: Mondrian, Van Doesburg, Van der Leck, Oud, Wils and Rietveld.
De Stijl achieved international acclaim by the end of the 1920s and its paintings, buildings and furniture made fundamental contributions to the modern movement.
According to essayist John Kelsey, Albert Oehlen's collage-paintings "seem almost bored of their own shock-value." And yet this artist, one of the most significant German painters of the past 20 years, can make boredom look like a rigorous, if not delirious experiment.

Berchem first trained with his father, the still-life painter Pieter Claesz., and thereafter, according to Houbraken, with Jan van Goyen, Claes Moeyaert, Pieter de Grebber, Jan Wils and Jan Baptist Weenix (though the last was his junior).
He was travelling with Ruisdael (q.v.) near the German border c.1650, and probably made a trip to Italy c.1653.
Berchem painted Mediterranean port scenes and some history and genre subjects, but is best known as a painter of Italianate landscapes.
