Uitnodiging voor een expositie in Galerie Grandhomme te Parijs 1914

This invitation to an exhibition in the Galerie Grandhomme, Paris, by Paul-Emile Colin, seems to be a woodcut, a technique where the artist carves an image into a block of wood. You can see how the design emerges from a process of removal, of cutting away rather than adding. Look at the figure on the left, carrying what looks like a basket and some kind of book or package. The lines are spare but expressive, giving us just enough detail to imagine her journey. The color is simple, a muted brown that lends a sense of history and earthiness. It reminds me a bit of Paula Modersohn-Becker's prints, both in its folksy style and its use of a limited palette to evoke a mood. This invitation isn’t just a functional object; it’s a small work of art in itself, hinting at the kind of thoughtful craftsmanship one might expect to find inside the gallery. It's a reminder that art is everywhere, in the big gestures and the small details of our daily lives.
