Femme au collier de perles 1970

Endre Rozsda's 'Femme au collier de perles' appears to be made using ink on paper. Imagine Rozsda's hand moving across the surface, drawing a line, then another, building the woman with a pearl necklace up from nothing. Look at how the lines vary; quick, scratchy marks form the hair, while longer, more deliberate strokes define the outline of her body. I wonder what Rozsda was thinking, was he trying to capture the essence of a person, maybe someone he knew or perhaps an amalgamation of memories and feelings? The lines feel so direct, almost urgent, revealing the artist’s thinking, right there on the page. Rozsda's work reminds us that artists are always talking to each other across time. Each gesture carries echoes of the past and whispers of the future, connecting us to a larger conversation about what it means to be human. It's like, can we ever truly know anything for sure? And isn't that uncertainty kind of wonderful?
