Gezicht op het Kremlin te Moskou 1870 - 1937

This is Willem Wenckebach's 'View of the Kremlin in Moscow', made with pen on paper. What strikes me about this drawing is the meticulous nature of it. You can see the artist's hand so clearly in the density of marks used to build this cityscape, like each dome and spire is born from a swarm of tiny lines. When you look closely you can see the paper is almost vibrating with these strokes. This isn't just a picture; it's a record of time spent, a kind of meditation through drawing. It reminds me of Hokusai's prints in its dedication to detail, but with a less formal, more immediate feel. Art is about the exchange of ideas across time. It's about how one artist can pick up a thread from another and weave it into something new.
