To udkast til vignet for Dansk Kunstmuseumsforening 1913

Joakim Skovgaard made these two sketches for a logo for the Danish Art Museum Association, and they capture such a lovely sentiment. There’s a figure, kind of classical in its rendering, next to a stove. I imagine Skovgaard sitting there, pencil in hand, trying to figure out how to capture the essence of an art museum association. The lines are tentative, searching—you know that feeling? It is like the quiet hum of creative problem-solving, like a visual question mark hanging in the air. I think about all the artists who have sketched and scribbled, trying to bring their ideas to life. It’s like we're all in this big, messy conversation, bouncing ideas off each other across time and space. And, it reminds me that art-making is a process—it’s all about embracing the mess, staying curious, and seeing where the journey takes you. We can never really know for sure what we are doing!
