Interieur met twee liggende mannen, een vrouw staat tegen de muur in het licht van een kaars 1908 - 1911

Marcel Roux made this print, Interior with two reclining men, a woman stands against the wall in the light of a candle, sometime in his short life with etching. It's like the whole scene is made of whispers. It’s all lines, a process of building form through many small marks. And just look at the way the light flickers. Roux isn’t trying to give us a clear picture. It's more about feeling something than seeing something. The light falls on the woman, turning her into a kind of eerie, statuesque figure. There’s a starkness to the shadow that makes you wonder what story is being told here. Is she trapped, illuminated, or something else entirely? It reminds me a bit of some of Paula Modersohn-Becker's more psychological interiors. Both artists use the domestic space to explore the inner lives of their subjects. This print is about the ambiguity of life, where every mark contributes to a larger puzzle, and where questions often matter more than answers.
