A Norman Village 1904

David Young Cameron made "A Norman Village" with delicate lines on a plate, probably copper. You can feel him there, in the village, walking around the street. I love how he makes a building on the left loom over us with its huge roof - it feels like a face, about to tell us a story. I think he's saying, hey, look at this village, it has a feel. I'm always wondering, what were artists thinking when they made this? Was he feeling the sunlight hitting the stone? What's it like to draw all those lines, I wonder? It's a great conversation that goes on, this call and response among artists.
