Spoon 1935 - 1942

"Spoon" is a graphite and gouache drawing on paper created by Danish artist Holger Hansen between 1935 and 1942. The artwork, measuring 22.1 x 28 cm (8 11/16 x 11 in.), depicts a simple, everyday object - a spoon - in a precise and detailed manner. Hansen's meticulous rendering of the spoon's form and texture highlights the beauty and functionality of this commonplace object. The inclusion of dimensions in the bottom of the composition further emphasizes the artist's focus on the object's form and its connection to the real world. This drawing exemplifies Hansen's artistic approach, which often explored the aesthetics of ordinary objects, elevating them to the status of fine art.
