About Roosje Ingen Housz

The artwork titled “Roosje Ingen Housz,” created by M.C. Escher in 1920, is a significant piece within the Expressionism art movement, characterized as a portrait.

In the artwork, a stark contrast between light and dark elements creates a striking visual effect. The silhouette of a profile emerges from the composition, with rounded and jagged shapes surrounding it. The interplay of illuminated and shadowed regions not only defines the contours of the depicted figure but also generates a sense of depth and texture. Although the features of the portrait are abstracted and stylized, the expressive quality of the lines and shapes conveys a powerful emotional presence, typical of the Expressionism movement.
