Description from the seller
In this dynamic work by Leentje Linders, speed and energy of American football are central.
A player in a bright red uniform tries to advance with the ball past his opponents, while above the playing field a second figure seems almost to topple over the railing.
Linders combines precise black-and-white drawings with striking blocks of color in red and green.
This makes the central action jump right out of the scene.
The composition feels almost like a frozen sports moment: full of movement, tension and power.
Sport is an important subject within her oeuvre, and precisely capturing movement plays a central role in it.
Leentje Linders (1942) is a Dutch graphic artist and etcher. She completed her studies in 1972 at the Vrije Academie voor Beeldende Kunst in The Hague and later specialized in traditional etching techniques. She became known for her detailed and dynamic etchings of sport, and later especially for works on aviation and maritime subjects. Movement runs as a common thread through her oeuvre. In doing so, she combines traditional graphic techniques with a contemporary visual language, making her works feel both precise and lively.
Dimensions: 69 x 48 cm
Dimensions with frame: 81 x 61 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore, we work with restorers from the industry association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, please let us know.
