Duinlandschap 1912 - 1940

Dick Ket made this landscape drawing with graphite, conjuring dunes that roll out, soft and yielding, under a muted sky. I can almost feel the give of the sand underfoot! It's a symphony in gray; the drawing captures the light as it filters through the air. I imagine Dick, out there in the dunes, squinting maybe, charcoal in hand, trying to capture the essence of this quiet place. The subtle gradations of tone, the way he suggests form with just a few strokes - it’s like he's whispering secrets about the land. There’s a stillness to the composition, a sense of solitude and contemplation, not unlike some of the drawings of Vuillard. I love the way that artists are in a constant conversation, across time and space. Dick's landscape feels like a quiet moment, a pause for reflection. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most profound experiences come from simply being present, looking closely, and feeling the world around us.
