Tasting is buying: Jac. Jongert, designer
Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam
19 December 2009 – 18 April 2010
During the present winter Museum Boijmans van Beuningen has been presenting an overview of the oeuvre of Jac. Jongert with approximately 300 works. From the nineteen tens till the nineteen thirties he was in great demand for designing advertisements, packaging, book covers, textile and glass, whilst also making free work. De designs which he made for Van Nelle make up half of the exhibition. Jongert played an important role in the design education of his day and he was driven by a great social idealism. The exhibition portrays Jongert as one of the first advertisement designers who made art for the masses.
From the collection of the Textile Museum an armchair is shown, upholstered with printed mock-velvet with motifs of stylized birds, golf and sea shapes. The mock-velvet was designed by Jac. Jongert and produced by Schellens & Marto in Eindhoven, 1920 (11337).
