Gerrit van 't Net
Orso
1933 | oil paint on canvas | 170 × 100 cm
Although it was not his only painting style, Gerrit van ‘t Net was one of the few Dutch artists to embrace Surrealism.
Launched in 1924, this movement is known for its irrational, dreamlike imagery. In Orso, the woman at the bottom of the staircase is met by a floating globe before a bizarre background of shapes and images. The colours of her jacket and trousers match the background, creating a strange visual connection.
