Letter M c. 16th century

Curator: Here we have an intriguing block print, simply titled "Letter M," by an anonymous artist. Editor: It feels medieval, stark, and a bit…magical, doesn't it? The letter itself seems like a portal. Curator: Precisely. The heavy lines create a dense composition, yet the letterform remains legible. Note the serifs evolving into cherubic figures and foliate motifs. Editor: I see, yes! It's as if the letter is growing. The rigid form is softening into something more organic, almost breathing with life. Curator: This visual dance between structure and fluidity invites one to contemplate the potential for transformation inherent in language itself. Editor: I think I will never look at the letter M quite the same way again. Curator: Indeed, its rich design has offered fresh perspectives.
