Notities over kunstwerken 1876 - 1924

These "Notes on artworks" were created by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof, who lived from 1866 to 1924. Dijsselhof was deeply immersed in the cultural and artistic movements of his time, including Symbolism and Art Nouveau, both of which sought to move away from realism. His work aimed to evoke emotions and ideas through the use of symbolic imagery and stylized forms. Looking at this page of notes, it feels like we are peeking into the artist's creative process. It gives an interesting insight into the artist's mind as they are trying to keep track of the artworks' sizes. Dijsselhof appears to be developing alternative narratives, moving away from traditional representations in favor of a more evocative and emotional style. These notes remind us that behind every finished artwork lies a process of planning, and imagining. It offers an intimate glimpse into the artist's world.
