Graskist 1975

"Graskist" (1975) is an etching by Dutch artist Harrie A. Gerritz, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a wooden box with its lid ajar, revealing a mound of grass within. The simple yet evocative composition, rendered in fine lines, suggests a sense of containment and release, hinting at themes of nature, memory, and the passage of time. The minimalist aesthetic and focus on everyday objects are characteristic of Gerritz's artistic style, which often explores themes of the everyday and the mundane.
