This is Vilhelm Lundstrom’s study for the so-called wedding picture, made with pencil on paper, and it's all about process. The quick, searching lines, they're not trying to be perfect, but like, feeling out the forms, finding the right balance between the figures. You can sense him thinking as he goes, responding to each mark, you know? I love the raw physicality of it, the way the pencil scratches across the page. It's not about hiding the process, but embracing it. Look at the figures' faces – just ovals, empty, but full of potential. It’s almost like he’s inviting us to fill in the blanks. Lundstrom reminds me a bit of Morandi, in the way he pares things down to their essence, finding beauty in the simplest forms. It’s like he’s asking us to slow down, to really see, and to appreciate the poetry in the everyday. And that's something I can definitely get behind.
