Ruiters te paard 1906 - 1945

"Ruiters te paard" (1906-1945) is a woodcut by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of horses rendered in simplified, geometric shapes. The use of bold lines and flat areas of color, characteristic of the Expressionist style, creates a sense of movement and energy. Stolk's work often featured animals, and this piece exemplifies his unique style of combining realism with abstraction. The woodcut's dynamic composition and vibrant colors offer a compelling study in artistic expression.
