Lint van crèmekleurig gaas van 8 meter c. 1900 - 1915

"Lint van crèmekleurig gaas van 8 meter" (Ribbon of cream-colored gauze of 8 meters) is a minimalist artwork by Gustav Schnitzler, dating from around 1900-1915. The piece consists of a long, narrow ribbon of cream-colored gauze, rolled into a cylinder, and housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work exemplifies Schnitzler's interest in using everyday materials to create evocative forms, challenging traditional notions of artistic material and expression. This piece, in its simplicity and lack of overt narrative, invites contemplation on the nature of art itself, reflecting a broader shift toward abstraction in early 20th-century art.
