Rol met crème zijden satijnlint c. 1925

This artwork, titled "Rol met crème zijden satijnlint" (Roll of cream silk satin ribbon) by Gustav Schnitzler, is a simple, yet evocative piece. Dating back to around 1925, it represents a humble, everyday object – a roll of cream satin ribbon. The artist's focus on everyday materials highlights the beauty in the ordinary. The careful presentation of the ribbon, rolled neatly on a cardboard core, suggests a deliberate artistic choice, turning a simple ribbon into a work of art. The work exemplifies the minimalist aesthetic that characterized a range of art movements in the early 20th century.
