Wederopstanding van Colijn 1920 - 1949

Chris Lebeau's "Wederopstanding van Colijn" (1920 - 1949) is a woodblock print that satirically depicts Dutch politician Hendrikus Colijn. Colijn stands atop a box surrounded by hands, representing the Dutch people, holding a ruler marked with the dates 1925-1939. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful commentary on Colijn's political actions and his influence on the Dutch people during a critical period of history. The stark black and white style of the print emphasizes the artist's critical perspective and the urgency of the subject matter.
