Skitse af samme komposition 1671 - 1738

Hendrik Krock created this sketch with graphite, its dimensions about 39 by 32 centimetres. The sketch is dominated by flowing lines that suggest movement. The composition is open, allowing the eye to wander across the page, tracing the subtle variations in line weight. The lack of strong tonal contrast creates a sense of ethereal lightness. Krock's use of line work and composition provides insight into the underlying structural principles. There is a sense of implied form, where the absence of detail invites the viewer to actively participate in constructing the image. The emphasis on process over product invites a semiotic reading, challenging the traditional notion of the finished artwork. It prompts us to consider the ways in which art destabilizes fixed meanings and opens up new avenues for interpretation.
