Twee dansende figuren 1906 - 1945

"Twee dansende figuren" (Two Dancing Figures) is a woodcut by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk, created between 1906 and 1945. The artwork, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a striking example of Stolk's distinctive style, characterized by its bold, simplified forms and graphic quality. The black and white composition, with its strong contrast and use of geometric shapes, captures a sense of movement and energy in the figures, while the framing creates a sense of depth and isolation. This piece is a testament to Stolk's ability to express movement and emotion within the constraints of a woodcut medium. The image is a notable example of Dutch Expressionism and Art Deco.
