Common Ringed Plover
Charles Donker Dutch
Not on view
Charles Donker is one of the foremost contemporary Dutch printmakers. He is a member of a group called De Luis (The Louse), a group of graphic artists who since the 60s have been making works in a surrealist or heightened realist idiom. He has long been fascinated by the natural world. He rendered this plover in a fantastic and playful landscape whose foliage seems to derive from the work of earlier artists such as Rodolphe Bresdin and Odilon Redon. The background is composed of rows of small dots.
