Description from the seller
This color lithograph by Constant Nieuwenhuys, numbered 170/200, shows a strongly simplified, almost abstract presentation in which animal figures seem to appear within large color fields. An expansive olive-green plane dominates the composition and is combined with gray, light blue, red and orange, while black, spontaneous lines shape the figurative elements. The large open spaces and the loose drawing style give the work a sense of freedom and movement. The combination of abstract forms and recognizable motifs is characteristic of Constant's graphic work, in which color, line and imagination are more important than a faithful rendering.
Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920–2005), usually simply called Constant, was a Dutch painter, draftsman, graphic artist and visual artist. In 1948 he was, together with among others Karel Appel and Corneille, one of the founders of the international CoBrA movement, which strove for a free, spontaneous and experimental form of art. Constant drew inspiration during this period, among other things, from children's drawings, folk art and fantastical beings. Later he increasingly focused on architecture and the relationship between people and their living environment. This culminated in his famous long-running project New Babylon, a visionary concept for a future city in which the creative, playful human being stood at the center. This gives Constant a special place within Dutch postwar art.
