Gezicht op een straat in Suez 1903

This is 'Gezicht op een straat in Suez' made by Richard Sochor, but with what, and when? That's anyone's guess. The way the scene just sort of fades into the distance, almost dissolving – it reminds me of trying to remember a dream. There is a tower in the middle of the scene, and I wonder, why does it call out to me so? I feel like I'm constantly building towers like that in my own paintings, stacking forms, seeing where they lead me. This tower is like a brushstroke, vertical and sure, against the ether of light. Looking at this, I'm reminded that art is really about looking, and remembering, and dreaming. Like a conversation across time.
