About the artist: Jan Stolk
The Hague, May 28, 1939
Jan Stolk studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. For his work he often uses objects from everyday life which he then studies well so that the graphic character of the object can be developed. He did that with an umbrella he found on the street. He began to copy it and take pictures of it in all possible ways. Then Stolk sketches his design on graph paper. Everything is accurately calculated and carefully thought out before the design is sent to the printing office. An important part of his work is that he makes series of graphics from the same objects. Everything is calculated very precisely in his designs, but often an alienation from the object arises, which is sometimes no longer immediately recognizable in his work.
