Wybo Meijer (1885-1942)

EL Wybo (Wijbe) Meijer was a Dutch artist.

His father was Johannes Carel Meijer (procurator) and his mother Gerritje Bleeker. At the age of twenty, Wybo Meyer moved with his parents to Haarlem . In 1912 he left for Laren (North Holland), where he worked until 1921. Later, in Amsterdam, Meyer lived at a number of addresses until 1933, probably in rooms, including De Genestetstraat and Constantijn Huygensstraat (Amsterdam-West). He then went to Utrecht , where he stayed until 1937; then he moved to Voorschoten until 1941 and finally his last residence Sassenheim.

After training in Leeuwarden, he became a student at the School of Applied Arts in Haarlem. One of his teachers was Chris Lebeau. He became a graphic artist, painter, illustrator, textile designer and bookbinding designer. He designed 18 bindings for the publishing house WJ Thieme & Cie in Zutphen, and he also made 34 (as far as known) other cover and binding designs. At least one poster by him is known. He drew caricatures and wrote articles for the monthly magazine Den Gulden Winckel and De Groene Amsterdammerand designed ex-libris . He signed most of his creations with “Wybo Meyer”.
