Julie de Graag: White Cat (1917) Modernist Woodcut Art Print

Invite a sense of calm, modernist elegance into your home. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Julie de Graag’s White Cat, a stunning pinnacle of early 20th-century Dutch graphic art.

In 1917, Julie de Graag was redefining the boundaries of the woodcut medium. This White Cat is a masterclass in 'refined simplicity,' a philosophy de Graag shared with her contemporaries in the Dutch Modernist movement. By stripping away extraneous detail, she focuses on the pure, essential form of the sitting cat, its poise emphasized by the bold, architectural black outlines. The sophisticated color blocking—a serene teal meeting a deep, grounding charcoal—creates a balanced, Zen-like composition. This work represents a perfect fusion of Art Nouveau flow and Modernist structuralism, making it a timeless piece of interior design.

Original woodcuts are prized for their flat, saturated color and the unique 'bite' of the ink on the paper. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the intense contrast and the subtle, organic texture of the original 1917 block. Printed on premium matte art paper, it ensures the bold lines and tranquil palette remain a striking focal point in your space.

A sophisticated Statement Piece for a minimalist living room, a contemporary office, or a gallery wall dedicated to early 20th-century graphic masters. This Julie de Graag Print is an exceptional gift for modernist design enthusiasts, art historians, and lovers of feline-inspired art.
