Vier gestileerde mensfiguren op een rij 1930

"Vier gestileerde mensfiguren op een rij" (Four Stylized Human Figures in a Row) is a woodcut by Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, dating back to 1930. This work showcases the artist's signature style, characterized by stark black and white contrasts and stylized, almost abstract forms. The figures are depicted in profile, their features exaggerated and simplified, creating a sense of both humor and unease. The woodcut, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies de Mesquita's contribution to the Expressionist movement in the Netherlands.
