Composite in White, Black & Blue Painting by Georg Ruyter, 1961

About the Item

This rare and significant work by George Ruyter exemplifies his artistic evolution through modern art movements. Ruyter began with figurative work, including drawings, frescoes, and mosaics, before transitioning into geometric abstraction and ultimately Concrete art by 1968. A pivotal figure in Dutch art, Ruyter was a member of the Vereeniging Sint Lucas and the Amsterdam Independents. His influence was celebrated in 1974 with a dedicated exhibition at Museum Fodor in Amsterdam. Ruyter described his process in *Catalog Fodor 20*, stating: “I work with two opposing elements, forming a totality that is both static and dynamic. I call it concrete design.” This philosophy is evident in his work, where structure, material, and color unite into cohesive, dynamic compositions that exemplify his mastery of modernist principles.

Minimalist Geometric Abstract Relief in Tonal Whites by Dutch Artist
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Expressive abstract relief in white by Dutch artist Henk van Putten (1936-2019) Van Putten called himself a constructivist in the tradition of Vladimir Tatlin, with whom he shared not only aesthetic principles but also social commitment. For example, almost everything he made in 3D is made up of several parts; glued, welded or screwed together. In his paintings, which he often made prior to the 3D version, he even painted the seams where they would appear in the later work. Van Putten’s work, although easily recognisable, shows a clear affinity with artists he admires such as André Volten, Gerrit Rietveld and more generally with ‘De Stijl’. Yet he made no contact with them; he felt much more like a kindred spirit of German artists, especially the ZERO movement whose members, like himself, were strongly involved in society. He befriends people like Egon Eppich and Hap Grieshaber...

Martha Visser't Hooft (1906-1994) Martha Hamlin Visser't Hooft was an artist and teacher whose family was deeply involved in the arts and sciences.
