Blad met annotaties 1884 - 1927

This "Blad met annotaties" was made by Johan Antonie de Jonge, but when? You know, it feels like a painting in itself. Imagine de Jonge's hand, poised with a pen, hovering over the blank page, maybe in a sun-drenched studio, or a shadowy corner filled with curiosities. What compelled him to jot down these enigmatic notes? Were they observations, fleeting thoughts, or fragments of a larger narrative? It's like he’s whispering secrets we can almost grasp. The faint lines and delicate script create a visual texture, inviting you to lean in, to decipher the hidden meanings, and to empathize with his process. It's this ambiguity, this invitation to collaborate in the act of meaning-making, that connects de Jonge to artists throughout history, an ongoing conversation.
