Notater om troskab og forholdet til "Gud" 1913 - 1914

J.A. Jerichau II made this text-based work, *Notater om troskab og forholdet til "Gud"*, at some point in his short life. The page is filled with handwriting, a cascade of words flowing down the page like a stream of consciousness. There's something so intimate about seeing an artist's notes like this. The scratchy, thin lines of the handwriting reveal the movement of the hand, the pressure of the pen on the paper. Look at how the lines sometimes thicken and then fade away, almost like a breath. It makes me think of Cy Twombly’s scrawled marks, where the act of writing becomes a kind of drawing. The whole thing feels like a process, a record of thoughts and ideas unfolding in real time. It's like we're getting a glimpse into the artist's mind, watching him grapple with concepts of faith and relationships. It reminds us that art isn't always about finished products, but about the journey of exploration and discovery.
