Landschap 1890 - 1946

This drawing, "Landschap" by Cornelis Vreedenburgh is just a frenzy of graphite on paper. It’s like rifling through an artist’s mind – a jumble of calculations, notes, and landscape sketches all layered together. You can almost feel the artist's hand moving across the page, sometimes pressing hard, sometimes barely touching. Look closely, you can see a series of rapidly sketched numbers, a blocky diagram. There’s this energy, like the artist is trying to capture a fleeting thought before it vanishes. It's interesting that he's written notes to himself about light, perhaps considering the tonal range for a painting. It makes me think of Cy Twombly's sketchbooks, where writing and drawing become almost indistinguishable. Ultimately, it's not about deciphering every detail, but about experiencing the raw, unfiltered process of creation.
