Description from the seller
This etching by Carel Willink shows a monumental building, viewed from a park-like setting with a classical sculpture in the foreground. Above the building unfolds an impressive, almost cosmic sky with heavy clouds, stars and a large planet-like form. Through the extremely fine hatching and the strong contrast between light and dark, a mysterious and somewhat ominous atmosphere arises. The combination of precisely depicted architecture, classical sculpture and an unreal sky is characteristic of Willink’s visual world: the individual elements look realistic, but together they form a disconcerting, dreamlike reality. Classical imagery, monumental architecture and looming cloudscapes are among the recurring motifs in his oeuvre.
Carel Willink (Amsterdam, 1900–1983) was a Dutch painter, draftsman and graphic artist and is regarded as one of the leading representatives of Dutch magical realism, although he himself preferred to call it ‘imaginary realism’. After short studies in medicine and civil engineering he moved to Berlin, where from 1920 to 1923 he studied under Hans Baluschek and initially experimented with Expressionism and abstraction. From the late 1920s Willink developed the extremely precise, realistic painting method for which he became best known. Monumental buildings, classical sculptures, desolate landscapes and dramatic cloudscapes recur regularly in his work and give his depictions their characteristic enigmatic atmosphere. In addition to his paintings Willink also produced drawings, illustrations and graphic works.
