This print of St. Botolph's Church was made by Harold Field Kellogg, and it's all about the process, you can tell that, right? It's all these little lines and cross-hatchings, like a million tiny decisions coming together. Look at the water in the foreground, how the lines create the movement and depth. It's not just a picture of a place, it's a record of an artist thinking, feeling, and working with the medium. The textures, the contrasts between light and shadow, they all add up to this dreamy kind of effect. It's like looking at a memory, or a feeling. There's something about the old-fashioned quality of it, the way it reminds me of artists like Whistler, who were also obsessed with capturing fleeting moments and atmospheric effects. It's not just about what you see, but how you see it.
