19. Streaky Clouds at the Bottom of the Sky 

Editor: So, this is "19. Streaky Clouds at the Bottom of the Sky" by Alexander Cozens. It's a delicate little print, very subtle. There's something almost meditative about it. What do you make of this quiet scene? Curator: It's a whisper, isn't it? A memory of a landscape. Cozens was onto something with his "blot" technique, suggesting forms rather than defining them. Do you feel a specific location when you look at it, or something more universal? Editor: I think more universal, like a dreamscape. I appreciate how it uses so little to create the impression of a vast sky. Curator: Exactly! It's about suggestion, engaging our imagination. These aren't literal clouds, but invitations to conjure our own skies. Makes you wonder about the power of suggestion, doesn’t it? Editor: It really does. I'll never look at clouds the same way again.
