Dolf Breetvelt was born in1892 in Delft, where he attended the art academy in The Hague. Before the war Breetvelt was an artist in the former Netherlands East Indies.

Breetvelt was on friendly terms with Piet Ouborg and Hans Ittmann, and an influential figure in the Dutch art scene.

He worked in a surrealistic style. After the war, Breetvelt went back to the Netherlands where he produced his first abstract works. Initially surrealistic in nature with a dash of geometry, later increasingly more abstract expressionist.

From 1951 Breetvelt also produced sculptures in wood and metal. Adolf (Dolf) Breetvelt died in Amsterdam in 1975.
