Oiseaux 1980

"Oiseaux" is a 1980 lithograph by Dutch artist Harrie A. Gerritz, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work features a stylized, graphic representation of birds in flight, enclosed within a rectangular frame, which is itself set against a plain white background. The image is minimalist in style, with the artist focusing on the essential elements of the subject matter. This graphic simplicity is characteristic of Gerritz's approach to art. The bold lines and use of flat color create a sense of detachment and abstraction, inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between nature and human observation.
