Lint van lichtgroen gaas c. 1900 - 1915

"Lint van lichtgroen gaas" (Ribbon of light green gauze) is a piece by Gustav Schnitzler, a Dutch artist who worked in the early 20th century. This artwork is an example of everyday objects elevated to the status of fine art, characteristic of the early 20th century. It showcases a simple ribbon of light green gauze, neatly rolled and tied with a label, displayed as a readymade. The piece is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into the innovative art practices of the time. This work is a prime example of the "found object" movement, which focused on everyday items to challenge the traditional definitions of art.
