Former directors of the Willem de Kooning Academy[edit]

Len Pennock has been director of the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam from about 1979 to 1990. This made me wonder about other former directors of the academy, and made me dig up the following data about former directors, periods, and sources:
