Het Nederlandse Schaap 1927

This is "Het Nederlandse Schaap" or "The Dutch Sheep" made in Amsterdam in February 1927 by Prof. H. Burger. It’s a printed page, possibly the cover of a booklet, and right away the texture grabs me. It's got that slightly yellowed, aged paper quality that hints at stories untold. I love how the design is laid out, those thin black lines forming a frame, almost like a stage for the text. The font itself, a straightforward serif, feels grounded, solid. The title looms large, assertive, while the phrase "EEN VERDWAASD VOLK" – "A bewildered people" – sits nestled below, a curious snippet that piques your interest. And that triangle, right in the center, simple and bold. What does it mean? It's this little mysterious detail that makes you want to know more. In the same way that art is this ongoing dialogue, these different elements open up a kind of space, inviting you to participate in the conversation, even if you are not sure exactly what it's about.
