Bandontwerp voor: Margit Ravn, Alles komt terecht (min søster og din søster), 1937 before 1937

Hans Borrebach made this design for ‘Alles Komt Terecht (min søster og din søster)’ in 1937, probably with gouache or tempera. I'm thinking about Borrebach there in his studio... what was he listening to, or thinking, as he figured out how to convey the feeling of this story? You see the blue tones, right? A sort of cool jazzy palette, dark blues against lighter shades... It's like he’s got the blues, but he's dancing them away. The figures are angular and flowing, a graphic rhythm of bodies in sync. The stairs are so stylized and flat, yet they give depth. Those arms and hands outstretched, palms up…like saying, "Hey world, I'm open!" It reminds me of Stuart Davis meets a Dutch graphic sensibility. All these artists borrowing and responding to each other. Artists keep the conversation alive, each piece a new twist on old themes, finding new ways to see, to feel, to move.
