Arbeiten in Flussbett der Etsch 1906

"Arbeiten in Flussbett der Etsch" (1906) by Dutch artist Reijer Stolk is a vibrant woodcut depicting workers on a construction project in a riverbed. The artwork is characterized by its bold use of color and simplified forms. The figures are stylized, and the landscape is flattened, creating a sense of depth through overlapping planes. This style is typical of the early 20th century, and can be interpreted as a representation of the artist’s personal response to the rapidly changing world around him.
