About This Piece

Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman was a printer in Groningen in the Netherlands who turned his print shop into an art studio, pressing ink, type, and stencils directly onto paper to make one-of-a-kind prints. Hot Printing was his experimental series from 1936. Red figures and a blue rider float on a cream ground beside a half-moon in black and yellow, with a compass rose in the corner. Werkman later printed underground publications during the Nazi occupation and was executed in 1945, just days before Groningen was liberated.

The red, blue, and cream palette is graphic and modern, ideal for an office, studio, kids' room, or living room. It pairs well with black frames, mid-century furniture, and other graphic and typographic prints.

About the Artist

Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman (1882–1945) was a Dutch printer and artist based in Groningen who made some of the most inventive printed work of the twentieth century using nothing but the equipment in his print shop. He called his pieces druksels, prints made by inking type, rollers, and printing tools directly onto paper without a press. He published an experimental journal called The Next Call throughout the 1920s and worked quietly, largely unknown outside a small circle.
