A Schematic Cloud Study 

Editor: So, here we have Alexander Cozens' "A Schematic Cloud Study". It's a delicate drawing, just lines on paper, almost like a pattern. What do you make of it? Curator: I see Cozens engaging with the very means of landscape production. The schematic nature points to a method, a way of churning out landscapes, focusing on the material act of creation over the finished product. It challenges notions of artistic genius, no? Editor: Definitely! I didn't think about it as challenging genius, but I see what you mean. Curator: It prompts us to consider the social and economic forces at play in art creation. I find that fascinating! Editor: Me too, it makes me think differently about landscape art.
