Stier before 1940

"Stier" (Bull), a woodcut by Dutch artist Tinus van Doorn, features a stylized bull in a dark, almost black background, with a single tree to the right. Created before 1940, this minimalist print exemplifies van Doorn's distinctive style, characterized by simplified forms and a focus on line. The bull is rendered with a powerful presence, its horns emphasized as a symbol of strength. The artwork, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a small-scale piece, showcasing van Doorn's exploration of graphic design and his fascination with animal forms.
