Abraham de Geweldige 1914 - 1918

"Abraham de Geweldige" (1914-1918) is a caricature of Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper, created by artist Albert Hahn. The artwork is a black and white illustration with a stark contrast between light and dark. The caricature is known for its exaggerated features, particularly the large head and prominent nose, emphasizing Kuyper’s authority and presence in the public sphere. The artwork reflects Hahn’s style of political satire, a prevalent artistic genre in the early 20th century. This piece is a significant example of how caricature can be used to portray political figures and public figures in a critical and humorous manner.
