The artist Jan Schonk is known for his artworks with landscapes, still lifes and animals, especially fish and birds. In addition to being a painter and draftsman, Schonk was also a graphic designer and ceramist. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and Technical Sciences in Rotterdam. After 1931, Schonk devoted himself entirely to graphic art, which is particularly notable for his urge to compose masses, planes, lines and shapes into rhythmic chords. With his woodcuts, lithographs and etchings, Schonk is one of the most important graphic artists of the 20th century.
