Vis 1892 - 1916

"Vis" is a black and white ink drawing by Rik Wouters. It depicts a single fish, rendered in a loose and expressive style. The artist's brushstrokes are fluid and energetic, capturing the movement of the fish as it swims through the water. The drawing was created between 1912 and 1916, towards the end of Wouters' tragically short life. Wouters was a Belgian artist known for his expressive and often humorous depictions of everyday life, a style sometimes referred to as Fauvism. His work captures a sense of immediacy and vitality, making it a compelling example of early 20th-century art.
