Victor Müller made this drawing using graphite on paper, a method that privileges speed and directness. Here, those qualities are amplified to the extreme. You can almost feel Müller’s hand moving rapidly across the surface, catching the figures mid-motion. Graphite itself is a fascinating material – a form of carbon, like diamond, but much softer. It's this softness that allows it to leave a mark so easily on paper. The density of the graphite determines the darkness of the line, so you can see how Müller used varying pressures to create depth and shadow. In this sketch, the sheer energy of the drawing is its main subject. Müller uses the inherent qualities of graphite to suggest fleeting moments and raw emotion, foregoing the need for details and finish. This work challenges conventional notions of high art by valuing process and immediacy over polished refinement.
