Scary Curtain! Abstract Man Curtain

Welcome to the collection of works by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (1868–1944). A masterful Dutch graphic artist and designer, Mesquita was renowned for his bold, modern approach to woodcuts, etchings, and decorative arts. His work is characterized by striking geometrical compositions and a deep focus on essential forms, capturing everything from intimate portraits to the intricate beauty of exotic flora and fauna. We are proud to present these selections from his portfolio, which have now entered the public domain. Each piece reflects the unique, avant-garde vision of an artist who significantly influenced the modernist movement in early 20th-century Amsterdam. Explore this curated gallery to bring Mesquita’s timeless, graphic aesthetic into your home. Featured Artwork: Silhouet van een man met stralen rondom (c. 1914)
