Vrouwen in een landschap 1898

"Vrouwen in een landschap" (Women in a Landscape) is a 1898 woodcut by Ker Xavier Roussel (1867-1944). The artwork features a stylized scene of women and birds in a landscape, rendered in a minimalist, almost graphic style. Roussel, known for his innovative use of color and form, employed a dark background and silhouetted figures to create a sense of mystery and visual intrigue. The artwork is a prime example of his exploration of simplified shapes and their expressive potential, a style that would later influence the development of Art Deco.
