Karton met wijnrood lint van gaas c. 1900

Gustav Schnitzler’s “Karton met wijnrood lint van gaas”, a small, minimalist work from around 1900, is a simple composition of a piece of maroon ribbon folded and laid on top of a cardboard piece. The work showcases the artist's interest in exploring the beauty of everyday objects, highlighting the materiality and texture of the ribbon and cardboard. It’s a perfect example of Schnitzler's practice of creating art from found objects, a style prevalent in the early 20th century. The minimalist approach of this artwork invites viewers to consider the subtle beauty of everyday materials and their artistic potential.
