Voorgevel van een kerk met een toren 1890 - 1946

Cornelis Vreedenburgh made this drawing of a church facade with a tower in an unknown year. It's just a quick sketch, but there's something really cool about the way he captures the essence of the architecture with minimal lines. It's like he's saying, "I don't need all the details, I can just give you the feeling of this place." Look at how he uses these short, scribbled marks to suggest the texture of the building. It's not about perfection, it's about the process of seeing and recording. The windows are just suggested with a few lines and some shading, but they still feel like windows, right? It reminds me a little of the drawings of Guston, especially in the way he leaves so much unsaid, so much open to interpretation. It's not about a finished product, but about the act of looking and drawing.
