Bomen 1939 - 2009

"Bomen" (Trees) is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Kees Stoop, created between 1939 and 2009 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. Stoop is known for his minimalist style and this drawing exemplifies that through its depiction of bare trees silhouetted against a snowy landscape. The artist utilizes subtle shading to create depth and volume, highlighting the intricate details of the branches against the stark background. This work demonstrates Stoop's skill in capturing the essence of nature through precise lines and a limited palette.
