Annotations (Garden) 1964

This drawing, Annotations (Garden), is by Constantin Flondor, and it's all about the magic that happens when pen meets paper. It’s like Flondor took a walk in a garden and let his pen do the wandering, too. The lines here feel so free and easy, but don't be fooled, they’re doing some serious work. See how they loop and dive, suggesting shapes without ever quite pinning them down? It's like he’s showing us the bones of a garden, the underlying structure that bursts into life. The paper itself becomes part of the picture, with its slight imperfections, like little freckles, adding to the overall sense of something real and lived-in. It reminds me a bit of Cy Twombly’s scribbles, but with a touch more earth. Both artists tap into this idea that a simple mark can hold a whole world of feeling and thought. It's a reminder that art doesn’t always have to shout; sometimes, the quietest gestures speak the loudest.
