November 1917

"November" is a 1917 woodcut by Dutch artist Julie de Graag (1877-1924). The artwork, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a stylized sunflower in black and white. De Graag's bold lines create a graphic and eye-catching image of the flower's intricate seed pattern, emphasizing its organic form. The simplified representation evokes a sense of both nature and abstraction, highlighting the artist's interest in capturing the essence of her subject.
