Moeras 1922

Johannes Frederik Engelbert ten Klooster's 1922 woodcut "Moeras" is a striking example of the artist's bold and simplified style. The black and white composition features a dense, layered landscape of trees, foliage and a glimpse of a distant mountain range. The artist's use of strong, geometric shapes creates a dynamic and visually engaging image. The stark contrast between black and white enhances the sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the heart of the forest. The artwork is a testament to ten Klooster's mastery of the woodcut technique, and it is a captivating example of early 20th-century Dutch Expressionism.
