More about this artwork

This artwork by Leo Gestel is a cover design for a book titled "Contemporary Dutch Art." The painting is characterized by its bold, expressive lines and minimalist approach, painting a stylized, almost abstract representation of a face. The image shows fragmented facial features – eyes, nose, and mouth – placed in a compelling and slightly unaligned manner, suggesting a face viewed from multiple perspectives simultaneously, a technique reminiscent of Cubism.The use of black sketched lines against a tan background enhances the dramatic and intense expression captured in the eyes and the rest of the face. The text "L'Art Hollandais contemporain," which translates to "Contemporary Dutch Art," is integrated into the design at the top of the image. This integration of text and image is typical of book cover art, aiming to blend aesthetic appeal with functional communication.Overall, Gestel's composition is striking and modern, reflecting the avant-garde sensibilities that likely align with the themes and works discussed within the book itself. It’s an excellent example of Gestel's skill in graphic design and his ability to convey complex human emotions and thoughts through simplified forms and lines.

Leo Gestel (1881–1941) was a Dutch visual artist, painter, and illustrator. His father was a director of an art school and his uncle painted with the famous Vincent van Gogh. He came across the Parisian avant-garde movement and developed his eclectic style through experimentation with various art forms including cubism, expressionism, futurism, and post-impressionism. He is considered one of the leading Dutch modernism artists, along with Piet Mondrian. The majority of Gestel’s work was lost in a fire.
