Bosgezicht met luipaard 1937

"Bosgezicht met Luipaard" (Forest View with Leopard), a 1937 woodcut by Dutch artist Tinus van Doorn, showcases the artist's signature stylized animal figures and simplified landscape forms. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a leopard in a dense forest, its spotted body rendered in stark white against a dark background, creating a dramatic contrast. Van Doorn, known for his distinctive use of line and bold shapes, evokes a sense of mystery and the wild through the simplified forms and striking composition. This woodcut exemplifies van Doorn's artistic style, which blended elements of Expressionism and Art Deco.
