Landscape 

Ludwig Metz’s landscape drawing invites us into a world rendered with delicate precision. Its composition, almost monochromatic, centers around the structural interplay of horizontal and vertical elements. The landscape, divided into distinct layers, presents an exploration of space and perspective. The buildings and trees in the foreground are captured with geometric lines while the hills roll into the distance, dissolving into soft, suggestive marks. This formal structure may evoke a sense of serenity. Metz's technique, which emphasizes line over form, challenges the traditional notion of landscape as a mere representation of nature. Instead, he uses the landscape as a canvas to explore the fundamental components of visual language. Notice how the careful arrangement of space and shape creates a landscape that is both familiar and strangely abstract. In this drawing, Metz invites us to contemplate the very essence of perception and representation.
