Editor: This is “35. All Cloudy, except a Narrow Opening at the Top of the Sky…” by Alexander Cozens. The cross-hatching creates such a moody atmosphere. What do you see in this piece? Curator: I see Cozens attempting to capture the sublime in something as fleeting as cloud formations. He's not just depicting a sky, but evoking a feeling, wouldn't you agree? The almost obsessive detail hints at a deep connection with nature. Do you get that feeling, too? Editor: Yes, it's like he's trying to understand the sky by deconstructing it into these tiny lines. I’m seeing it in a new light. Curator: Exactly! And perhaps, in doing so, understanding himself a bit better, too.
