Lovec 1930 - 1945

Arnold Peter Weisz-Kubínčan made 'Lovec' with watercolor, and it's this really raw, immediate thing. I love how the brown and black washes dance together, kind of staining the paper. The hunter and his dogs emerge from these quick strokes; you can almost feel the artist making snap decisions as the image forms. Look at the dog on the left, how it’s suggested with just a few lines, but you totally get its weight and form. It's all about capturing a fleeting moment, not fussy details. It reminds me of Käthe Kollwitz’s prints, that same kind of urgency. There’s no right or wrong here; it’s just a really human, really direct way of seeing and making. And for me, that’s what art’s all about.
