Driehoeken 1906 - 1945

This is Reijer Stolk’s notebook page, filled with graphite doodles, mathematical calculations, and triangular forms. It's so interesting to see what artists do when they aren't making art. Stolk’s got these angles, lines, and numbers scattered across the page. I wonder what he was trying to figure out or prove, what he was trying to resolve. Maybe it was the relationship between form and concept. You know, how one thing leads to another, almost like a chain reaction. There’s something really cool about seeing these private notes. The act of repetition is a way of feeling something out, or of thinking something through. I love the immediacy, the freedom, and the playful and exploratory energy of the artist at work. It's like glimpsing into their mind. It shows how artists are constantly thinking and responding to the world around them.
