Influenced by, among others, Odilon Redon and Jan Toorop.
In addition to being a graphic artist, he was also active as a painter, poet, writer, sculptor, structural engineer and mask maker.
He was a member of "De Groep", an artists' collective around Pulchri Studio in The Hague.
He also wrote theoretical treatises on the mask in Wendingen, among others, and made many masks for his wife Dinie's theater performances. Most were made of paper and have largely been lost.
