Born in the Netherlands, Hondius (1891-1970) moved to the United States during World War I and studied at the Art Students League under Max Weber and Andrew Dasburg. He was active from the 1920s through the 1960s in a social realist style tinged with Expressionism, and his work reveals the influence of the early 20th century French modernist Georges Rouault.
