Ornaments (1910) by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita
About The Artwork
Samuel Jessurun was a master of creating simple yet elegant lithographs using only black and white colours. He would use the sketching skills he acquired when working as an architect apprentice and combine shapes and patterns to compensate for the lack of colour through its intriguing and mysterious prints that left the viewers wondering about the backstory.
We'll settle for the prints being simply wonderful!
Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita
Born into a Jewish family in Amsterdam, he grew up in a very tight-knit community of Sephardic Jews; however, he was never really religious and had his interest and focus on art from a young age.
At 14 years of age, he applied to his dream school, Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, the Dutch state academy of fine arts. However, he was unfortunately rejected, disappointed but not hopeless, so he decided to become an apprentice at an architect in Amsterdam. After two years as an apprentice, he developed his technical skills in drawing and was ready to start studying to become an architect, but he opted to become a teacher instead so he could support his family.
After becoming a teacher, he was allowed more free time to focus on developing his art, and he created artworks using various techniques and mediums such as wood engravings; he also produced etchings, lithographs, watercolours and drawings; and in 1939, his works were included in the Rijksmuseum exhibition ‘’Our Art of Today.’’
After Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands, he had to turn to a life in hiding where he would create sketches in his new secluded life until he was unfortunately gassed at Auschwitz with his wife.
At Stockholm Art House, we are proud to keep the legacy of a great artist like Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita alive and wish to celebrate his life and work through his art.
