«When We Slaves of Suriname was almost ready for publication, the photographer, typographer and industrial designer Piet Zwart (1885-1977) was commissioned to design the book cover. […] Zwart began the design process for the book cover with a photo shoot that resulted in two portraits of the author: one with a serious expression and one with a smile. The portraits are unconventional compared to others of De Kom, who usually posed in formal clothing. Zwart cut De Kom's head from the first portrait and added it to a photocollage of numerous cut-out figures that seem to represent the Surinamese population. Zwart used the photocollage as the basis of a sketch design with diagonal and vertical lines of text in black and red. Ultimately, Zwart's dynamic design was not used on the cover of De Kom's book. It was most likely rejected by the publisher, Contact, which opted simply to use Zwart's portrait of De Kom on the cover of We Slaves of Suriname. The exhibition features the original collage and sketch design for the book cover and prints of both the serious and smiling portrait.» – (excerpt from the exhibition presentation)
