Description from the seller
This is a drawing by Leo Gestel in which a park landscape is depicted, with a boat in the background and various figures in the scene. Leendert (Leo) Gestel (Woerden, November 22, 1881 – Hilversum, November 26, 1941) was a Dutch painter, draftsman and bookbinding designer, and is regarded as one of the most important innovators of modern art in the Netherlands.
Gestel initially developed a luminist style, which he applied in his early landscapes around Woerden. In the following years he experimented with various modern movements, including cubism, expressionism and fauvism. His work is characterized by a strong sensitivity to color, light and composition. Through this ongoing artistic development Gestel occupied a prominent place within the Dutch avant-garde of the first half of the twentieth century. His oeuvre is presently represented in numerous Dutch and international museum collections.
Dimensions: 36 x 47 cm
Dimensions with frame: 51 x 66 cm
The work is on view with us in the gallery. Furthermore, Art Dumay has a picture-framing workshop (this year their 85th anniversary) and a restoration atelier. So if you would like to make use of these services, we would of course be pleased to hear from you.
