Jacob (Jac.) Gazenbeek (1894 - 1975) was a Dutch writer and
journalist. He is best known for his books and articles about the culture and
nature of the Veluwe region in the Netherlands.
Apart from folklore and culture, Gazenbeek also focused on art and music. In 1952 he was one of the founders of the Edese Kunstkring. He also painted himself and made wood carvings. In the later years of his life, Gazenbeek became increasingly concerned about the negative consequences of increasing prosperity and mobility. As a result, ever larger parts of the original landscape disappeared and the Veluwe lost its regional character.
