Mountain landscape 1926

Friedrich Mook made this watercolour "Mountain Landscape" with soft washes of blues, greens, and browns. Imagine him outside with his paper and paints, trying to capture the misty, moody feeling of this place. See how the colours bleed into each other? That's watercolour for you—unpredictable, like weather itself. I like to think of the artist letting the water do its thing, guiding it here and there, but also letting go. Look at the way the mountain fades into the distance. It’s like Mook is showing us how things dissolve, how edges blur. It reminds me of Cezanne, who was also obsessed with mountains, trying to pin down something that’s always shifting. It's less about capturing a perfect likeness, more about the feeling. A reminder that art, like life, is about embracing the fluid and the uncertain.
