Artist | Reijer Stolk
Artist Story | Reijer Johan Antonie Stolk (1896–1945) was a Dutch painter, sculptor and graphic artist, born in Ngunut, Indonesia. He studied at the Haarlem School of Arts and Crafts, where he was mentored by the influential Dutch artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. Mesquita's impact is evident in Stolk's work, particularly in his precise, stylised forms and strong use of line. Stolk's body of work spans various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and printmaking, often reflecting the early 20th-century European art movements he was exposed to during his studies.
