Lint op karton, wit satijnlint met daarop een smal zwart fluwelen lint c. 1926

Here we have Gustav Schnitzler’s artwork, "Ribbon on cardboard, white satin ribbon with a narrow black velvet ribbon on it," made with textile and cardboard. The process of wrapping and layering creates a unique texture. The contrast between the delicate satin and the plush velvet adds depth. The lines are so rhythmic, like a musical score. Each black line feels intentional, a gesture. The whole piece pulses with a quiet energy. Look at the lower part of the cardboard where the white ribbon peeks out. See how it disrupts the rigid pattern, how this makes it feel more human, more felt? You know, the subtle imperfections are what make it sing. It makes me think of Agnes Martin’s grids, but softer, more touchable. This piece invites contemplation. It’s a conversation about materials, about seeing, and about the beauty in simple acts.
