Staande naakte vrouw bij plantenstengels 1894 - 1935

"Staande naakte vrouw bij plantenstengels," a woodcut print by Dutch artist Mathieu Lauweriks, depicts a stylized, nude female figure standing among plant stalks. Lauweriks was known for his bold, graphic style and his use of simplified forms and geometric shapes, evident in the silhouette of the woman and the stylized plant forms. The print, created between 1894 and 1935, showcases the artist's interest in Art Nouveau aesthetics, with its focus on natural forms and flowing lines. The composition is striking in its simplicity, with the figure's pose and the plant stalks creating a rhythmic visual pattern. The work's stark black and white contrast further emphasizes the graphic nature of Lauweriks' style.
