Original Description
Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita’s Paradijsvogel (van Es H160 I) is a striking example of early 20th-century printmaking, radiating both elegance and a touch of exotic mystery. Created around 1920, this woodcut portrays a bird-of-paradise—its elongated plumage rendered in crisp, rhythmic lines that showcase De Mesquita’s mastery of graphic composition. The stark contrast between bold black forms and negative space reflects his affinity for Japonisme and the Symbolist movement, while the subject’s stylized curvature hints at Art Deco influences. As a mentor to M.C. Escher and a key figure in Dutch modernist printmaking, De Mesquita’s works bridge decorative arts and avant-garde experimentation. Though tragically killed during WWII, his legacy endures through pieces like this—where nature transforms into hypnotic pattern, balancing precision with poetic whimsy. Musée d’Orsay and Rijksmuseum hold similar works, affirming his transnational significance.
For interiors, Paradijsvogel’s graphic simplicity lends versatility: hang it in a minimalist study to amplify its dramatic impact, or pair it with organic textures (rattan chairs, sisal rugs) for an eclectic “tropical modernist” vibe. The monochrome palette harmonizes with both warm neutrals (oak furniture, terracotta accents) and bold jewel tones like emerald or sapphire—try a matte black frame against deep green walls for gallery-level sophistication. At roughly 25x30 cm (typical of his prints), it shines as a focal point above a console or as part of a salon-style grid with botanical sketches. In offices, place it near mid-century wood tones to underscore its craftsmanship, or contrast its fluid lines with geometric shelving for dynamic tension. Strategically positioned lighting will animate its intricate contours, making this rare piece a conversation starter.
