Studie 1902 - 1903

This is a pencil sketch by George Hendrik Breitner, and when I look at it, I can see the artist thinking. I love the raw energy of the marks, those loose, searching lines that remind me of Cy Twombly. The scribbles and layered strokes create a sense of depth and movement. It’s like Breitner is trying to capture the essence of a place or a feeling, rather than a precise image. You can feel his hand moving across the page, exploring different possibilities. There’s a vulnerability to this kind of work. It's like he's saying, "Here's what I'm seeing, but it's still in process." And that’s what makes it so engaging. I’m constantly inspired by artists who aren’t afraid to show their working process. It’s a reminder that art is about exploration and discovery, rather than perfection.
