Ruiter te paard binnen rood kader c. 1965 - 1980

"Ruiter te paard binnen rood kader" (Rider on horseback within a red frame) is a print by Dutch artist Aat Verhoog, created sometime between 1965 and 1980. The artwork depicts a rider on horseback within a red frame, set against a blue sky and a textured background of seemingly endless pebbles. The composition is minimalist, emphasizing the isolation of the rider within the frame. The use of line and texture adds depth and a sense of space, while the red frame acts as a visual barrier, separating the rider from the vast expanse. The work reflects Verhoog's exploration of geometric forms and perspective, a defining feature of his art. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a striking example of Verhoog's distinctive style and is a testament to his ability to create captivating minimalist compositions.
