Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 11 1875 - 1934

This is "Abklatsch van de krijttekening op pagina 11," a transfer of a chalk drawing by Isaac Israels. The process itself—the transfer—becomes the artwork. It's like seeing a ghost of an image, isn't it? Look at how delicate the chalk is, barely there, yet it suggests a form. It makes you wonder about the unseen, the ephemeral. The texture of the paper becomes part of the story here too, it's almost like the paper is breathing. The way the chalk lifts and disappears reminds me of some of Cy Twombly's drawings, where the gesture is more important than the thing it’s trying to depict. It’s about the trace, the memory of a line, and the endless possibilities within a simple mark. Art isn't always about answers, sometimes it’s about the questions we ask along the way.
