Lint van roze gaas c. 1900 - 1915

"Lint van roze gaas" (Ribbon of pink gauze), created by Dutch artist Gustav Schnitzler sometime between 1900 and 1915, is a small-scale work showcasing a simple, everyday object. The delicate ribbon, crafted from pink gauze, is meticulously folded and tied with a thin white string. The work's minimalist aesthetic reflects the principles of early 20th-century design, highlighting the inherent beauty of everyday objects and materials. This piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and represents a unique example of Schnitzler's artistic focus on the subtle beauty of everyday life.
