Mens en vogel 1985

"Mens en vogel" (Man and Bird), a 1985 print by Dutch artist Harrie A. Gerritz, is a minimalist composition using bold colors and simple shapes. The work depicts a black silhouette of a human figure, stylized as a tree with branches, standing beside a red bird flying towards a yellow band at the top of the image. The blue waves at the bottom ground the scene in a natural setting, suggesting a relationship between humans and nature. The artwork, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Gerritz's distinctive style and his exploration of abstract symbolism.
