Pierre Kemp
Portrait of Pierre Kemp by Hub. Levigne
Pierre Kemp (1 December 1886 – 21 July 1967) was a Dutch poet and painter, the recipient of the Constantijn Huygens Prize in 1956 and the P. C. Hooft Award in 1958. His younger brother was the writer Mathias Kemp.
Kemp was born in Maastricht and died there in 1967. In Limburg, the county where he was born, people made fun out of his surname; in several dialects of Dutch and the regional Limburgian language, 'kemp' (as 'kennep' and general Dutch 'hennep') is the colloquial term for marijuana.
