Victor Müller sketched "Remains of a Castle on a Hill" with graphite on paper. The work is dominated by the stark contrast between the bare paper and the skeletal lines of the castle ruins, evoking a sense of desolation. The composition draws the eye upwards along the stark incline of the hill. The artist employs a minimalist technique, suggesting form and structure with the most economical use of line. These ghostly architectural remains create a semiotic interplay between what once was and what now exists, challenging notions of permanence and power. Look at the texture of the paper: the sketch's delicate lines are in subtle tension with the more organic imperfections of the paper itself. This tension underscores the visual experience, and highlights the ephemeral nature of human-made structures.
