The artwork titled “Cover of ‘The Masks'” was created by Theo van Doesburg in 1910. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of design.
The artwork features a mustard-yellow background with the title “DE MASKERS AF” prominently displayed at the top in red capital letters, followed by the artist’s name, “THEO VAN DOESBURG”, also in red. Centrally positioned on the artwork is a detailed, monochromatic drawing of a man in profile. The man’s features are exaggerated, adhering to the Expressionist style, with a prominent nose, bald head, and bushy mustache. Below the illustration, the text “Amsterdam Vennootschap Letteren en Kunst” is inscribed, providing publication details. The overall composition is simple yet striking, drawing attention to the detailed drawing and the bold use of color and typography.
