Rechthoekige vorm 1890 - 1946

This pencil drawing, "Rechthoekige vorm" by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, found its home at the Rijksmuseum. It feels like a private glimpse into an artist's sketchbook, a place of experimentation and raw ideas. I imagine Vreedenburgh with his sketchbook, quickly capturing impressions. There's something so immediate and intimate about seeing these lines, almost like reading his mind. It makes you think about the relationship between seeing and thinking and how artists make sense of the world through form. The lightness of the line is key. It is not necessarily tentative but always subject to change. There's a conversation happening here, a visual dialogue between Vreedenburgh and the world around him. It's a reminder that art is not just about the finished product, but about the process of seeing, feeling, and thinking. I am happy to be listening in.
