Arend 1891 - 1931

This woodcut print, "Arend" by Huib Luns, is a striking example of the artist's graphic style. The image depicts an eagle, rendered in bold black and white, with a background of swirling gold, possibly representing the sky or a golden nest. The strong lines and contrasting colors create a dynamic composition. Luns, known for his expressive woodcuts, captured the eagle's powerful presence, showcasing the beauty and strength of nature in a minimalist and impactful way. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Luns' mastery of this printing technique and his keen eye for capturing natural subjects with a sense of depth and emotion.
