40. [title not known] 

Editor: This untitled landscape by Alexander Cozens uses very gestural brushstrokes, almost like he's testing the ink. What can you tell us about his process here? Curator: The immediacy of Cozens's work foregrounds the physical act of image-making. The rough paper and visible brushwork draw attention to the materials and labor involved, disrupting any illusion of a pristine, idealized landscape. How does this emphasis on materiality affect your understanding of the image? Editor: It makes me think less about a specific place and more about Cozens experimenting with form and texture. Thanks! Curator: Exactly. It shifts our focus from representation to production, reminding us that art is not just about what is depicted but how it is made.
