Seascape 19th-20th century

Editor: This little ink drawing, "Seascape" by William Trost Richards, feels so immediate and evocative! It's like a quick breath of ocean air. What do you see in it? Curator: Oh, I agree! It's more than just a seascape; it's a mood. Look at those nervous, scribbly lines. To me, it speaks to the sublime terror and awe of nature, rendered with such delicate immediacy. Editor: Terror? I mostly saw calm. Curator: Perhaps I'm projecting! But isn't that the beauty of art? A conversation between the artist and ourselves, across time and space. We both found something meaningful. Editor: I guess we did. I'll never look at a seascape the same way again!
