The Community | Leo Gestel Postcard

Design for the cover of 'The Community' (1891) by Leo Gestel is a striking piece of black-and-white abstract art. The design features a fluid and rhythmic composition of butterflies fluttering around leaves and flowers. Gestel’s minimalist approach emphasises organic shapes, creating an intricate pattern that evokes movement and the delicate balance of nature. The design’s focus on rhythm, line, and form exemplifies the artist's early exploration of abstraction, conveying both a sense of unity and dynamism. Though the piece is rendered in black and white, it captures the essence of life and nature, using contrasting tones to bring depth and interest to the design.
