More about this artwork

This artwork by Leo Gestel, titled "Flower Bud," is a bold expressionist piece that utilizes strong black and white contrasts to depict the organic forms of a budding flower. The composition is somewhat abstract, focusing on the shapes and textures rather than realistic representation. The image is carved into segments that resemble leaves and flower buds, with the forms tightly packed together, giving a sense of density and growth. The thick, dark outlines and the blotchy application of black ink enhance the natural, dynamic quality of the subject. Gestel's style here captures the essence of the budding flower, symbolic perhaps of new beginnings or natural beauty, rendered with a vigorous and expressive technique that grabs the viewer’s attention.

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.
