AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This lithograph by Ru van Rossum, titled 'Corrida' and dated 1984, shows a dynamic group of bulls that seem to overlap each other in the composition. In particular the large bull on the right attracts attention with its powerful body, raised head and long horns. The animals are not depicted realistically, but built up from loose lines, soft color fields and expressive structures. Warm earth tones, red and black contrast with the light background, while diagonal lines add extra movement and tension. The combination of figuration and abstraction gives the work an energetic and almost monumental character.
Ru van Rossum is a Dutch visual artist and graphic artist who, among other things, engages in painting and graphic arts. In his work recognizable forms from humans, animals and the environment play an important role, which he often processes freely and expressively. Instead of a precise, realistic representation, the emphasis lies on movement, line, color and the power of the depiction. In this work too that is clearly visible: the animals are rendered with a loose, powerful visual language, making not only their appearance but above all their energy and movement central.
The work is of private provenance.
