Ornamentontwerpen 1919

"Ornamentontwerpen" is a series of sketches created by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk in 1919. The pencil drawings feature geometric and abstract patterns, which are likely designs for decorative elements or architectural embellishments. Stolk, born in 1896 and active until his death in 1945, was known for his work in the Art Deco style, which is evident in these dynamic and stylized designs. The sketches offer a glimpse into Stolk's creative process and his use of geometric forms and patterns to create visually engaging ornamentation. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing art enthusiasts with a chance to explore the preliminary stages of Stolk's artistic vision.
