Remarkable painting by the Dutch artist Arend Ernst Roosenschoon (1929).
Roosenschoon was a versatile artist — painter, sculptor, and draftsman — who also served as director of the former Museum Fodor in Amsterdam.
His style in this work shows clear influences of modern abstraction, particularly the use of primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and black lines against a light background.
Although the color palette is reminiscent of the work of the De Stijl movement and Piet Mondrian, the execution here is looser and more expressive.
The work bears the beautiful title *Mondrian's Play Rabbit*.
Characteristics of this work:
Composition: An interplay of geometric planes and dynamic, sometimes diagonal lines.
Colors: Focus on the primary colors red, yellow, and blue, combined with black accents on a white base.
Style: A form of geometric abstraction that explores the boundaries between order and free expression.
Signed on canvas and on the reverse with title and date.
