Two playing children 

Dora Hitz created this drawing, "Two Playing Children," using graphite on paper. The sketch gives us the immediate impression of a fleeting moment, with lines that dance across the surface, suggesting rather than defining forms. The composition centres on two figures, presumably children, engaged in play. Hitz uses line to capture the immediacy and movement of the scene, creating a dynamic, almost ephemeral quality. The sketch lacks the solidity and weight one might expect in a more formal portrait. This effect is achieved through the open, airy linework which serves to destabilize traditional notions of representation. The children are not presented as static subjects but as figures in flux, their forms emerging from and dissolving back into the surrounding space. This approach reflects a broader artistic interest in the subjective experience of reality, moving away from objective representation towards capturing the fluidity of perception. This emphasis on process over product aligns with the philosophical shift towards understanding truth as something constructed rather than discovered.
