Children Playing (Kinderscenen) c. 19th century

Editor: This print, "Children Playing," artist unknown, feels like a page torn from a storybook. It's got a nostalgic charm. I'm curious, what do you see in this piece? Curator: It's funny you say storybook, because I think that's exactly the feeling the artist was going for! This work is all about memory and innocence. I'm struck by how this artist manages to capture a kind of playful spontaneity, don't you think? Editor: I see what you mean. Is there something about it that particularly resonates with you? Curator: For me, it's how the artist makes me want to get back in touch with a feeling I had a long time ago, the kind of joy that comes naturally. Editor: Thank you. It feels like it's more than just a picture of children playing.
