Twee hoofden 1886 - 1923

This sketchbook page, with two heads quickly drawn by George Hendrik Breitner, feels like catching a glimpse into the artist's mind at work. Imagine him, charcoal in hand, rapidly trying to capture a likeness. The marks are so immediate and raw, a kind of shorthand for a face, a study of light and shadow. It's the kind of drawing that's less about perfection and more about the act of seeing. I can relate to that. Sometimes the most exciting part of art is that initial spark, the way an idea takes shape through gestures and marks. It’s a way of thinking through the hand, almost like a dance between eye, brain, and charcoal. These spontaneous notations remind me that making art is like having a conversation with myself and the world around me.
