Kilden 1910

This is a watercolour by Edvard Munch, called Kilden. It’s all about the process, isn’t it? See how the washes of colour bleed into each other, like a memory fading at the edges. The texture is smooth, paper thin, and the paint sits on the surface like a veil. There's a real physicality here, a sense of the artist's hand moving across the page. Look at the way the figures are rendered with such loose, gestural strokes. It’s like he’s trying to capture a fleeting moment, a feeling, rather than a precise representation. The way the watery paint pools and drips creates a sense of movement and fluidity. It reminds me of the way Agnes Martin used to build up layers of translucent colour, creating these ethereal, shimmering surfaces. Ultimately, it's about embracing the imperfections and the ambiguities, allowing the work to breathe and evolve in its own way.
