Hunter
1880 - 1946
Henri van der Stok’s 'De Wilde Jager' (The Wild Hunter) is a dynamic woodcut that pulses with the rhythmic energy of the Art Deco movement. A powerful figure strides confidently through a jungle of stylized, fan-like leaves, wearing a radiant hat and spiked collar that echo the sharp, carved lines of the print. The stark contrast between the deep black ink and the white paper creates a dramatic, almost theatrical atmosphere, typical of early 20th-century graphic arts. Signed and dated 1916, this piece captures the era's fascination with exoticism and bold, geometric forms.
