Volendam 1935 - 1942

This is an anonymous photo album page titled "Volendam." It's fascinating, isn't it? The way these images are arranged feels so personal, like a little world the artist is building. I imagine them carefully selecting each photograph, deciding where it should go on the page, creating a kind of visual diary. What were they thinking when they placed these images side by side? You can almost feel their presence, their memories, their own way of seeing the world. It reminds me of the way painters build up layers of color and texture, each stroke adding another dimension to the final image. Every mark holds intention, every brushstroke, a deliberate gesture. This album page is just another form of expression, isn't it? A conversation between the artist and their world. It’s about embracing uncertainty, finding beauty in the unexpected, and allowing for multiple interpretations.
