Ode to Toorop
Yael Wassen
This screen print is inspired by Charley Toorop's 'Working-Class Woman', painted in 1943. The screen prints serve as an homage to this remarkable female painter, as well to the women who nowadays keep society running.
The concept for this print emerged during the pandemic. Toorop’s painting depicted the ruins of Rotterdam during the Second World War, featuring a working-class woman in the foreground who would later play an essential role in the city's reconstruction. Similarly, during the pandemic, women with 'essential jobs' once again played a crucial (and often overlooked) role in navigating the crisis.
The screen prints are hand printed in Amsterdam West by social firm de Zeefdrukmakers. As a result, each copy is slightly different and entirely unique. This is a limited edition of 30 prints, each numbered and signed.
