More about this artwork

"Eend" (1923) is a striking example of Julie de Graag's talent in creating expressive and minimalist representations of natural subjects using the woodcut technique. This piece, which translates to "Duck" in English, features a single duck, eloquently crafted in a high-contrast, black and white composition. De Graag's skillful use of negative space enhances the graceful lines and forms of the duck, instilling a sense of both calm and attentiveness in the viewer. The duck is depicted in profile, with its beak slightly open and webbed foot delicately lifted, suggesting motion or a momentary pause. Sparse lines suggest grass or water elements in the background, placing the duck in its natural habitat without drawing attention away from the central figure.The bold simplicity of the linework and the careful balance of black and white areas showcase de Graag's ability to capture the essence of her subject with minimal detail, yet maximum impact. "Eend" not only reflects Julie de Graag's artistic mastery but also her deep appreciation for the subtleties of nature's beauty.
