Da løb og fløj han hen over Hegnet... 1928

Fritz Syberg made this drawing, its title translates as 'Then he ran and flew over the fence,' with ink on paper. It’s all about the lines, like a flurry of thoughts made visible! The texture created by these marks is so alive. It’s like Syberg is capturing not just what he sees, but the energy of the moment – the rustle of leaves, the quick dart of birds. Look at how the lines build up to create depth and shadow, then scatter and loosen to suggest movement and light. You can almost feel the breeze! There’s a real conversation happening between the dense thickets of lines and the open, airy spaces. It reminds me of a Cy Twombly drawing, where the messiness becomes a kind of clarity. It’s art as an unfolding process, embracing the beauty of the incomplete.
