Collar 1935 - 1942

Henry De Wolfe made this drawing called 'Collar' with what looks like pencil on paper. It's delicate, almost tentative – like a whisper of a drawing. I love the way the bow tie is rendered. It's not about perfection, but about capturing the essence of a fleeting moment. It's this lightness of touch that draws me in. The way the light glances across the surface creates subtle shifts in tone, hinting at the form beneath. It reminds me a bit of some of Agnes Martin’s drawings, where the faintest of lines carry so much weight and emotion. You know, art isn’t always about making grand statements. Sometimes it’s about finding beauty in the simplest of things and in the quietest of voices.
