More about this artwork

This painting by Leo Gestel, titled "Ontwerp Voor Boekband Van De Kleine Rudolf Door Aart Van Der Leeuw," is a sleek and stylized design presumably created as a book cover concept for the novel "De Kleine Rudolf" by Aart van der Leeuw. The artwork is striking for its minimalist black and white palette and its bold, graphic quality.The central figure in the painting is portrayed with simplified, yet expressive forms. Covered in a large, shadowy hat, only the lower portion of the face is visible. The figure's face is shaded in such a manner that it creates an air of mystery and intrigue, fitting for a novel cover. The character holds a cane or walking stick, suggesting elements of traditionalism or an older setting.Above the figure, in bold, uneven black letters, is the name "Aart van der Leeuw," giving emphasis to the author of the book. Below the figure, the title "De Kleine Rudolf" is written in a similarly expressive style. The text and image together make for a compelling design that likely captures the essence of the novel’s themes or setting.

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.
