Tussenzetsel van wit kant, gedecoreerd met aaneengeregen ovalen tussen moesjes op karton c. 1920

This undated piece of white lace, decorated with interconnected ovals between dots and mounted on cardboard, was made by Gustav Schnitzler. Just look at the weave, how you can see the making of it, one thread at a time. Art isn’t just about, you know, ‘high art,’ it’s also about this kind of making; the kind we do with our hands. Think about the texture, the way the lace catches the light. You can almost feel the delicate pattern on your fingertips. The neutral palette, almost all cream and beige, is so quiet. But then you see this tiny imperfection, a slightly darker thread, and it's just... perfect. It’s a reminder that art is made by humans, not machines. You know, this piece reminds me of Sophie Taeuber-Arp, another artist who blurred the lines between art and craft. Ultimately, art is a conversation, it's not about having the right answers, but asking the right questions.
