Blad met afwisselend rijen van sterren en punten 1730 - 1760

This 'Sheet with alternating rows of stars and dots' was made by Johann Michael Munck using paper, pen and ink. The sheet presents a careful, densely organized pattern of stars and dots meticulously drawn across its surface. The arrangement demonstrates the artist’s precise technique, the ink precisely applied to create a texture that is both intricate and uniform. The paper itself, aged and worn, adds another layer to the work, its delicate fibers bearing witness to the passage of time. The creation of this artwork involved a labor-intensive process, hinting at the value placed on patience. The systematic repetition of motifs suggests a meditative or ritualistic aspect to Munck’s work, transforming simple materials into a visually rich piece. This invites us to consider the value of craft and the time invested in its creation.
