Rypefangst med lang stang og løkke 1920 - 1934

Kaarale Andreassen sketched "Rypefangst med lang stang og løkke," showing a traditional hunting practice. The hunter, armed with a long pole and snare, embodies the tension between human intellect and nature’s offerings. This image stirs ancient memories—the relationship between humans and animals. The snare is a very old symbol. In ancient Crete, it was a tool for capturing bulls, and in the Greek world, nets were depicted in hunting scenes. The hunter's focused gaze elicits a primal echo of the hunt, a fundamental interaction of survival and ingenuity. The line of the pole and the curve of the snare form shapes, calling forth subconscious associations with tools and their use. The drawing reveals a perpetual, non-linear dance between humanity and nature, where ancient skills resurface in modern expressions, continuously shaping our cultural memory.
