Description from the seller
Movement is central to this work. We see a baseball player depicted several times as he jumps over a fence, making it seem as if different moments of a single movement have been captured one after another. The artist uses mainly black-and-white and gray tones, with only a few striking color accents in blue, red, and green. Also striking is the large amount of empty white space around the player. This draws the viewer’s attention strongly to the figures and their movement. The combination of repetition, a lot of white space, and small color patches gives the work a dynamic yet tranquil character.
Leentje Linders (1942) is a Dutch graphic artist and etcher. In 1972 she completed her studies at the Vrije Academie voor Beeldende Kunst in The Hague and subsequently specialized in traditional etching techniques. She became known for her detailed and dynamic etchings about sport, and later especially for works about aviation and maritime subjects. Movement forms a common thread throughout her oeuvre. In doing so, she combines traditional graphic techniques with a modern visual language, making her representations feel both precise and lively.
Dimensions: 69 x 48 cm
Framed dimensions: 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. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to use this service, please let us know.
