Portrait of poet Jacques Karel Rensburg (1870-1943), oil on canvas, 90x80 cm, Exhibited: -Rotterdam, Kunsthal, ‘Karin & Ernst van Leyden', 16 October 1999-9 January 2000 (label attached to the stretcher).Literature: -Dick Adelaar, Matthijs Erdman, Jop Ubbens and Ragnar van Leyden, ‘Karin & Ernst van Leyden', Haarlem 1999, ill. p. 77. Jacques Karel Rensburg was a Dutch-Jewish poet and writer. He made his literary debut in 1903 with the poetry collection Japanse verzen (“Japanese Verses”).Rensburg was a well-known figure in Amsterdam’s nightlife during the second and third decades of the twentieth century. He enjoyed moving in cultural circles and counted musicians, writers, actors, sculptors, and painters among his friends. Regarded as a highly intelligent yet eccentric man, he was nicknamed the “Jewish Grail seeker” and a “brilliant muddlehead, ” but also simply “plain crazy”, due to his mystical ideas and naïve, utopian theories.The writer was also a welcome guest at Meerhuizen, the former country house on the Amstel where an artists’ colony had formed around 1915. Although critics were not particularly enthusiastic about his literary work, he gained admiration among young artists in Amsterdam between 1910 and 1925. Throughout his lifetime, Rensburg was portrayed an estimated twenty times by various artists, including Frans Hogerwaard (1882–1921), Harrie Kuyten (1883–1952), Jan van Herwijnen (1889–1965) and Dirk Smorenberg (1883–1960). His life and work form part of the diverse cultural and literary heritage of the Netherlands in the early twentieth century.
