Liervogel 1874 - 1945

"Liervogel" (1874-1945) is a black and white woodcut by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet (1864-1945). The artwork, currently in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a stylized, almost abstract, bird with a complex geometric pattern forming its body. The use of negative space and bold lines create a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style which was popular during Cachet's artistic career.
