Minister de Visser en de bezuinigingen op kunstsubsidies 1918 - 1925

"Minister de Visser en de bezuinigingen op kunstsubsidies" (1918-1925), a satirical cartoon by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon, depicts Minister de Visser as a caricatured figure with exaggerated features and a stern expression. He is standing in front of a sign that reads "Department of Education, Arts and Sciences - Not Home for Subsidies," holding a rolled-up document labeled "Cutbacks." The artist's satirical style criticizes the government's policy of reducing funding for the arts, portraying it as a blow to artists and a denial of their needs. The image, created with ink on paper, highlights the tension between the government and the artistic community in the aftermath of World War I.
