Ontwerp voor het schutblad van de gebonden editie van 'Kunst en samenleving' 1893

"Ontwerp voor het schutblad van de gebonden editie van 'Kunst en samenleving'" is a woodcut design created by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof in 1893. This design, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is characterized by its intricate and repetitive pattern featuring birds in flight, stylized foliage, and a textured border. The black and white composition is a testament to Dijsselhof's skill in creating decorative and evocative woodcuts. This design was intended for the cover of a bound edition of the publication 'Kunst en samenleving' and reflects the artistic trends of the late 19th century.
