Recept voor witte wrijfwas 1906 - 1945

This recipe for white wax was made by Reijer Stolk, a Dutch artist who died in 1945. You know, sometimes the most powerful art isn't hanging on a wall but tucked away in a notebook, scribbled in ink. Look at this page, filled with Stolk's handwriting – it's like a glimpse into his mind, his process. He's not just giving us instructions, he's sharing a piece of himself. I wonder, did he see a kind of beauty in the materials themselves, in the alchemy of mixing and blending? Maybe he even had a secret vision for what that wax could become, a hidden potential waiting to be unlocked. It reminds me that art isn't just about the finished product. It's about the journey, the exploration, the countless experiments that lead us to something new. And it's about sharing those discoveries, passing on knowledge, and keeping the conversation going.
