More about this artwork

This intricate etching titled "Geabstraheerde Vogel" by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, created in 1921, encapsulates the dynamic transition of art towards abstraction in the early 20th century. De Mesquita, a Dutch graphic artist known for his unique approach to subjects, illustrates a “Abstracted Bird,” using textural plays that challenge our perception and highlight the essence rather than the literal form of the depicted creature.The composition exhibits an innovative collection of shapes and textures, representing the bird through a collection of abstract forms that suggest feathers, wings, and other avian features. The execution is finely detailed, employing a meticulous stippling technique that adds depth and dimension, making the image almost tactile. These markings not only convey the physicality of a bird but also imbue the piece with a rhythmic, almost poetic quality, inspiring viewers to consider the relationship between reality and artistic abstraction.This artwork serves as a splendid example of how early 20th-century artists began exploring the boundaries of representational art and abstract imagery.
