Curatorial notes

Editor: Here we have "Boys Driving a Flock of Geese" by Arnz & Co. It's giving me a sense of childhood mischief and rural life. What do you see in it? Curator: Well, I’m drawn to the energy of it all. It reminds me of a childhood spent outdoors, and how every small hill felt like a mountain to conquer. What do you make of the perspective? Editor: It's interesting...almost like a stage, but more immediate somehow. I guess it captures movement pretty well. Curator: Exactly! It's a glimpse into a world bustling with simple pleasures. A world, if I may be so bold, we’re slowly forgetting. Editor: I see what you mean. It feels very...present, even though it's from another time. Curator: It really makes you think about the fleeting nature of time, doesn’t it?
