Reijer Stolk

Reijer Stolk (1896–1945) was a Dutch artist, designer, and thinker whose work defied the rising tides of fascism and cultural repression in Europe. Though not officially banned, his modernist, politically conscious designs were part of a wider cultural resistance that faced censorship and silencing under authoritarian rule.

Stolk’s inclusion in our collection honours his commitment to visual protest - through bold lines, stylised symbolism, and unflinching commentary. His work reminds us that censorship is not always loud; it often arrives as erasure, exclusion, and forgotten legacies.
