Muzikant 1915

"Muzikant" is a 1915 woodcut by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout (1881-1943). The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a musician holding an instrument, possibly a guitar. The sharp lines and geometric shapes in the composition evoke a sense of dynamism, characteristic of Schelfhout's artistic style, which drew inspiration from Cubism and Expressionism. The artwork stands out for its striking use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and contrast in the figure of the musician.
