De overwinnaar 1919

"De overwinnaar" (The Victor) is a woodcut print created in 1919 by Dutch artist Johannes Frederik Engelbert ten Klooster. The piece depicts a dramatic scene of two figures in a boat amidst a tumultuous sea, with one figure reaching upwards, symbolizing triumph over adversity. Ten Klooster's bold, graphic style, characteristic of the Expressionist movement, is evident in the simplified forms and contrasting black and white tones. The artwork, with its powerful imagery, evokes a sense of struggle and ultimate victory.
