This page of geometric calculations was made by Reijer Stolk, though we don’t know exactly when. What's striking here is the artist's hand, visible in every stroke. It's not just about precision; it's about the rhythm and the flow of the line. You can almost feel Stolk's presence as he’s working through the problem. The page is filled with equations and annotations, rendered in delicate pencil strokes. The texture of the paper and the subtle gradations of graphite create a tactile surface. See how some lines are darker, more emphatic, while others are barely there, like whispers. It’s as if the process of thinking itself is being laid bare. I’m reminded of the drawings of Agnes Martin, where simple lines become meditations on space and form. Both Stolk and Martin show us that art is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. In the end, it's about seeing the world in new and unexpected ways.
