Coupon zwart parasolgaas aan weerszijden afgezet met drie zwarte satijnen strepen c. 1900 - 1925

This 'Coupon zwart parasolgaas aan weerszijden afgezet met drie zwarte satijnen strepen' was made by Gustav Schnitzler with what seems to be black satin. It's giving me such process vibes, it's like a meditation on the material itself. What's so fascinating is the texture. The mesh has a transparency that lets light play across its surface, contrasting with the opaque bands of satin. Can you see how the light catches those edges? I’m wondering what tools Schnitzler used, and how he used them. It’s like he’s building something solid out of thin air. The blackness is so total, it almost feels like a void. It reminds me of Ad Reinhardt's black paintings, where you have to really look, really focus to see the subtle variations in tone and texture. Maybe that's what art is, just a conversation across time.
