Julie de Graag (1877-1924) was a dutch painter and print maker. Her work covered a variety of topics, including portraiture, animals, flowers and plants. I was first drawn to her artwork after coming across a series of woodcuts of cats. She captures the essence of the feline form in a variety of poses using bold outlines combined with subtle blocks of colors. Her other work is no less stunning. It varies between these blockier cuts to some with fine lines and incredible detail. It is well worth a view.
