Maandblad Verf en Kunst van P.A. Regnault (ontwerp) before 1941

This pencil drawing, Maandblad Verf en Kunst van P.A. Regnault (ontwerp) is by Leo Gestel. It’s a sketch, all tentative lines and erasures. You can feel the artist thinking through the image. I love the roughness here, the way the pencil scratches across the paper. It reminds me that art is about process, about finding your way. The lines aren't precious. Look at the way Gestel suggests form with a few quick strokes. See how the figures emerge from the background? It's like he’s pulling them out of the ether. Gestel’s drawing feels like a conversation with the history of art, particularly modernist experimentation. This reminds me of Picasso, who was also interested in the raw, unfiltered expression of the creative act. Ultimately, this piece is a reminder that art is not about perfection, but about the journey of discovery.
