De brug 1928

"De brug" (The Bridge) is a 1928 woodcut by Dutch artist Dick Ket (1902-1940). The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a bridge over a canal with two figures in a boat passing underneath. The scene is rendered in a bold and simplified style, characteristic of Ket's artistic approach. The use of black and white contrasts creates a striking visual effect, emphasizing the geometric forms and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow. Ket was known for his depictions of urban landscapes and his ability to capture the essence of Dutch life in his work.
