Theo van Hoytema's "Kalenderblad augustus met kaketoe" is a striking example of Art Nouveau design. Created in 1901, the calendar features a white cockatoo perched on a branch, surrounded by stylized monkeys and lush foliage. The vibrant color scheme and the delicate, curving lines of the artwork create a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. This calendar, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the early 20th century.
