Blank 1930 - 1936

This 'Blank' page was created by Niels Larsen Stevns using paper, which while common, bears considering. Paper, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries, had become a staple material, yet its production involved significant labor. While seemingly devoid of artistic content, the blankness of this page is, in itself, an intentional statement. The untouched surface presents a challenge to our expectations of art, prompting a deeper consideration of material and process. The choice to leave the page blank could be a commentary on the commodification of art, or perhaps a challenge to the viewer to complete the work themselves. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder that the materials and processes, even in their apparent absence, contribute to the artwork's meaning, blurring the lines between conception, production, and reception.
