The artist
Jacob Jongert 1883 — 1942 was a Dutch graphic designer, illustrator and art teacher. He studied at the arts academy in Amsterdam and got his teaching degree in 1905. In the same period he assisted the artist Roland Holst with his monumental murals. He thought this to be the direction in arts that suited him best but he never really managed to master the exact right technique. He found a new inspiration in S.H. de Roos, a book designer and typographer who brought the Arts & Crafts ideas of William Morris[1] to the Netherlands. After experimenting with several printing techniques he discovered graphic design as his ideal art form. Nothing is more effective in reaching a large audience than the mass production of posters and packages. Jongert was also a very active member of the social democratic party which you could see in his work. Graphic design was a logical choice, as it has the largest distribution. Although in 1911 Roland Horst advised him to leave politics behind and concentrate on his profession. In the early 20s Kees van der Leeuwen hired Jongert to design products for Van Nelle such as packaging for coffee, tea and cigarettes. His work is characterised by a certain simplicity; the colours powerful, the shapes angular, yet his ornamental background notable. He was inspired by the modern German design he saw on the Werkbundtentoonstellung in Koln. He is seen as one of the pioneers in graphic design as he was the first artist to be hired to design products for commercial purposes.
