Hussem, a painter, sculptor, and poet, was a student of Dirk Nijland and attended the Rotterdam Academy. He lived in Paris from 1918 to 1936, where he met Piet Mondrian and Pablo Picasso, among others. Besides the latter, Vincent van Gogh also influenced his style.
In 1936, he settled permanently in The Hague's Mijtensstraat (Schilderswijk). After the Second World War, his work became abstract. He was involved in art movements such as Fugare, the Liga Nieuw Beelden, and Verve. His work is considered part of the New Hague School art movement.
Despite national and international successes, including three awards of the Jacob Maris Prize (in 1952 and 1955 for painting and in 1958 for drawing) and an invitation to the Venice Biennale, his family was not well off.
His works are in the collection of:
• Art Museum The Hague
