Thijs Rinsema, Two riders, linocut on Japanese paper Thijs Rinsema was self-taught and was originally a cobbler by profession. Through his brother Evert he met Theo van Doesburg. Around 1920 he and van Doesburg produced some pieces of furniture together. Rinsema made the acquaintance of Kurt Schwitters in 1923, during a Dada expedition organized by the van Doesburgs. With Schwitters he made collages from waste paper, boxes with inlaid work and book jackets. In addition to Dadaist work he drew and painted interior still-lifes. From 1925 he produced paintings with stylized football players and horses.
