This page of notes, made by J.A. Jerichau II, is a jumble of thoughts, diagrams, and philosophical musings on Newton, Darwin, and morality. The handwriting is dense and urgent. Imagine the artist hunched over this page, wrestling with big ideas, trying to map out the connections between science, ethics, and human nature. The diagram at the bottom, with its looping arrows and cryptic labels like "Menneske - eet," "spænding - alt," reminds me of the kind of visual thinking that happens when you're trying to untangle a knotty problem. I sympathize with Jerichau as he tries to pin down the essence of "Menneskelige Kemi" – human chemistry. It feels like a very personal exploration, a mix of intellectual inquiry and creative experimentation. His work resonates with artists who use painting as a tool for exploration and discovery. Artists are constantly building on each other's ideas. This page is an invitation to embrace ambiguity and uncertainty, a reminder that there's always more than one way to see the world.
