This rare and significant work by George Ruyter captures his journey through various phases of modern art. Ruyter’s career from 1928 to 1960 encompassed figurative work, including drawings, wall paintings, frescoes, and mosaics. In 1941, he joined the Vereeniging Sint Lucas in Amsterdam, and in 1943, he became a member of the Amsterdam Independents. Post-1945, Ruyter began exploring geometric abstraction, and by 1968, his style evolved into Concrete art. In 1974, Museum Fodor in Amsterdam dedicated an exhibition to his work, underscoring his influence in the art world. Reflecting on his process in the *Catalog Fodor 20*, Ruyter wrote: “In general, I work with two opposing elements, which together form a totality that is both static and dynamic. I call it concrete design, something that asserts itself and is based on the properties of the surface and the material to be used. from this also follows the color scheme for each painting.” This approach is evident in his compositions, where structure, material, and color coalesce into unified yet dynamic visual statements.
