Skematisk tegning af bølgebevægelse 1908

Poul S. Christiansen made this schematic drawing of a wave motion with pen on paper at an unknown date. Just imagine the artist, poised with their pen, trying to capture the essence of the ocean's rhythm. What’s so beautiful about this drawing is how the waves seem to roll right off the page. You can almost hear the sound of the water! The artist captures the movement of the waves with simple, elegant lines, creating depth and dimension. It reminds me of other artists who have tried to capture nature's beauty, like Turner’s seascapes or Hokusai’s “Great Wave.” What sets this apart is its stark simplicity; it’s like a love letter to the ocean. The sky above the waves is left almost blank, with only a few lines suggesting the clouds, drawing attention to the waves. In art, just like in life, there are always new waves to ride.
