AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and atmospheric modernist work from 1967 by the Dutch artist Metten Koornstra. This pastel combines soft fields of color and a balanced composition. The work exudes calm and simplicity and fits perfectly in a contemporary or mid-century interior. It is professionally framed and ready to hang at once.
---
After World War II, Metten Koornstra played an active role in the revival of Dutch graphic art. From his studio on Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, he collaborated with artists and printers who helped shape the post-war art scene. His work from the 1960s, such as this pastel, shows how he translates the sensitivity of graphics into a more painterly style—with strong blocks of color, gentle transitions, and a timeless, balanced composition.
