Descripción
A striking woodcut by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, featuring a stylised figure before an organ, rendered in bold black and white.
Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita was a Dutch graphic artist known for his mastery of the woodcut technique. His work often displays a synthesis of Art Nouveau fluidity and a more rigid, geometric approach to form. In 'De muziek', the artist employs a stark, high-contrast aesthetic that is characteristic of his mature style. The composition features a central figure, likely representing a muse or an allegorical personification of music, standing before a stylised pipe organ. The vertical lines of the organ pipes create a rhythmic backdrop, echoing the verticality of the figure's flowing robes.
The image is defined by its economy of line and bold use of negative space. De Mesquita avoids unnecessary detail, focusing instead on the essential silhouettes of the subject. The figure's posture, with hands held gently before the chest, suggests a state of quiet contemplation or performance. The surrounding dark areas are punctuated by thin, white vertical lines, which provide a sense of structure and depth without resorting to traditional perspective. This approach reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, which were a significant interest for many European artists of the period.
De Mesquita's work often explored themes of nature, animal life, and human emotion through this simplified, graphic lens. 'De muziek' is a clear example of his ability to distill complex subjects into powerful, iconic imagery. The print demonstrates his technical precision, particularly in the clean execution of the woodcut blocks. By stripping away the superfluous, he invites the viewer to focus on the harmony between the human form and the musical instrument. This piece remains a representative example of early twentieth-century Dutch graphic arts, showing the artist's unique balance between decorative design and symbolic narrative.

Artist Biography
Samuel Jessurun De Mesquita
After the Nazis deported De Mesquita and his family in February 1944, M.C. Escher went to his teacher's ransacked house and rescued as much of his work as he could. Some of the prints Escher saved still bear the muddy boot prints of German soldiers. De Mesquita, his wife Elisabeth and their son Jaap all died in the camps.
He was born in Amsterdam in 1868, of Portuguese Sephardic Jewish origin. He trained there and was appointed teacher at the School of Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem in 1902, where he remained until 1926. Escher was his most famous student; it was De Mesquita who convinced the young Escher to abandon architecture for graphic arts, a decision that changed twentieth-century visual culture.
De Mesquita produced over four hundred prints, including woodcuts, wood engravings, etchings and lithographs, plus drawings and textile designs. His animal and bird woodcuts, with their stark black-and-white stylisation influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e, are among his most distinctive work. He was not religiously observant despite his Sephardic community background. His wife Elisabeth was gassed alongside him at Auschwitz; their son Jaap perished at Theresienstadt a month later. He died at Auschwitz, around 11 February 1944, at seventy-five.
