Kalenderblad februari met kraaien 1917

This is a calendar page for February, designed by Theo van Hoytema in 1917. The artwork depicts crows in a playful and expressive style, suggesting a strong connection to nature. The simple design of the calendar itself highlights the central theme of the birds. This artwork is a prime example of van Hoytema's distinctive use of line and shadow to create a dynamic composition. His unique aesthetic, often described as expressive and whimsical, is evident in this work. The artist's early death in the same year of this artwork adds a poignant layer to its interpretation. This piece is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, a testament to the enduring appeal of van Hoytema's art.
