Rol met wit lint met één gerafelde zijde en drie blauwe horizontale strepen c. 1930

"Rol met wit lint met één gerafelde zijde en drie blauwe horizontale strepen" (Roll of White Ribbon with One Frayed Side and Three Blue Horizontal Stripes), created by Gustav Schnitzler in 1930, exemplifies the artist's interest in capturing the mundane. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, presents a humble spool of ribbon, emphasizing its texture and worn edges. Its simplicity invites viewers to contemplate the beauty of everyday objects, while the deliberate focus on the ribbon's details suggests an appreciation for craftsmanship and the ephemeral nature of materials. This piece exemplifies Schnitzler's unique approach to still life, pushing the boundaries of artistic representation by celebrating the commonplace.
