He is considered the forerunner of present-day cabaret. During his performances, the ‘character comedian’ dressed up as a street sweeper, conductor or a doctor. Abraham drew inspiration from his former job as a trader of hay during which he worked with local farmers a lot. His satirical performances and his compassion towards the suffering of fellow citizens, made him loved by both the rich and poor.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Collin van der Sluijs (NL) was inspired by this story and made a mural behind the former city theatre Concordia. The painting features a song thrush. Like Abraham, this bird is known for its imitations. In addition to its own varied songs, the song thrush can mimic 7 other bird species with ease.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;- Blind Walls Gallery | 2017 -","author_name":"Marco Breda","author_url":"https://streetartcities.com/users/1629005f-c46a-46a3-8059-abdff292dfe1","thumbnail_url":"https://streetartcities.com/media/8/8ccf7105-bf5e-4e8c-9e7b-e17f536cadc1/1024.jpg","thumbnail_width":1024,"width":480,"height":480,"html":"<iframe src=\"https://streetartcities.com/markers/7902/embed\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" style=\"border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"fullscreen; storage-access\" title=\"Master Imitator by Collin van der Sluijs\"></iframe>","cache_age":3600}
