The artwork titled “Young Thrush” by M.C. Escher, created in 1917, belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is classified within the genre of animal painting.
The artwork features a stylized depiction of a young thrush, executed with bold lines and contrasting black and white forms. The bird is rendered in a simplified, almost geometric manner, characteristic of Expressionist aesthetics. It occupies the central space within a rectangular frame, with the title “Jonge Lyster” presented in uppercase letters at the bottom. The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner, adding authenticity and a personal touch to the piece. This work captures a moment in time, reflecting Escher’s early exploration of form and structure in nature.
