Sjabloon met ornament 1884 - 1952

"Sjabloon met ornament" (Stencil with ornament) is a 1952 work by Dutch artist Reinier Willem Petrus de Vries. Created in a style characteristic of de Vries's later works, the artwork features a stark, geometric silhouette against a dark, textured background. The negative space within the composition reveals a simple yet elegant ornament, suggesting a stencil or design intended for practical application. This piece exemplifies de Vries's exploration of form and structure through the medium of graphic design.
