Kiemcel II c. 1868 - 1938

"Kiemcel II", a work by Dutch artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, is an abstract painting characterized by bold, geometric shapes and stark contrasts. The composition features a dominant black color palette, interspersed with accents of gold. This combination creates a sense of depth and dynamism within the artwork. Created between 1868 and 1938, the piece reflects the artist's exploration of abstract forms and the relationship between color and space. Holst's "Kiemcel II" exemplifies his unique contribution to the development of abstract art in the Netherlands during this period.
