- Metten Teunis Koornstra (Rotterdam, 13 August 1912 - Amsterdam, 27 September 1978) was a Dutch graphic artist and painter of tranquil landscapes and figures. He also illustrated books and designed book covers and theater sets.
- Metten Koornstra was born into a strict Protestant, Calvinist environment. When his father died in the First World War, he moved to Haarlem with his mother. Here he spent the rest of his childhood. He experienced the Christian Mulo as a severe test. It formed his deep-rooted sense of independence and aversion to further education in schools. Instead, he had a wide variety of jobs including cook, pastry chef, silversmith, salesman and decorator.
- After many trips through France, where he visited many museums, Koornstra decided to take lessons at the Academy in Rotterdam in the late 1930s. There he learned the technique of lithography from Derkzen van Angeren. In 1939 a first exhibition of his drawings was organized in Galerie De Ronde Brug on Reguliersgracht in Amsterdam.
- After the Second World War, Koornstra bought an old litho press with which he set up a printing company in his studio. In doing so, he literally left an important mark on the post-war flourishing of Dutch graphic art. Together with Piet Clement, their Printshop 845 on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam grew into a well-known company.
