Alf Petersens gloser og bemærkninger til Atta Troll 1930 - 1938

Niels Larsen Stevns made this page of Alf Petersens gloser og bemærkninger til Atta Troll with ink on paper. The artist used thin strokes to create elegant handwriting that fills the page in a highly dynamic composition. The paper has aged to a warm, tea-stained color, giving it a tactile quality and visual warmth. The artist’s marks give the page a sense of depth and texture. The ink looks like it's soaked into the page, which gives you the feeling that it's a permanent record of Stevns’ thoughts and observations. The lines move and curve differently depending on how intensely the pen was pushed against the page. The artist seemed to use different pressures. The page, as a whole, is very simple, very understated, but the attention to detail in the handwriting shows a commitment to process that resonates with the work of Cy Twombly, for example. In both cases, the artistic process emphasizes expression, and welcomes a range of interpretations.
