Gerrit Dijsselhof: Flamingo Design (c. 1895 Art Nouveau Print)

Acquire a piece of unique Dutch decorative artistry with this stunning reproduction of Gerrit Dijsselhof's Flamingo Design. Created around 1895, this print is a definitive example of Nieuwe Kunst (Dutch Art Nouveau), celebrated for its stylized naturalism, elegant line, and harmonious color.

Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof was heavily influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and the flowing lines of international Art Nouveau. His designs often simplified natural forms to create highly decorative, rhythmic patterns suitable for various interior applications.

• Iconic Design: The Flamingo, with its long, graceful neck and legs, and distinctively angular profile, was an ideal subject for the Art Nouveau aesthetic. Dijsselhof typically renders the bird with bold, graphic outlines, often intertwined with stylized water lilies, reeds, or scrolling waves.

• Dutch Modernism (Nieuwe Kunst): Dijsselhof's work reflects the Dutch branch of Art Nouveau, which tended toward a more linear, geometric, and restrained style compared to the florid French version, focusing on structural harmony and clear functionality in decoration.

• Thematic Harmony: This design perfectly captures the moment when late 19th-century art moved toward symbolic, exotic natural subjects. The Flamingo is portrayed not just as a bird, but as a decorative element, its form generating a complex rhythm across the composition.

This print is an essential acquisition for collectors of Art Nouveau, Dutch Modernism, and elegant, historically significant decorative pattern art.
