Gezicht op een beluik aan de Veergrep in Gent, gezien vanaf de Bijlokekaai 1907 - 1909

This graphite drawing on paper, "Gezicht op een beluik aan de Veergrep in Gent, gezien vanaf de Bijlokekaai" was made by George Hendrik Breitner. I can see that the act of drawing here has allowed the artist to think. He has shifted and broken apart blocks and angles on the page. There is something tender in his search for the lines of a building. I can imagine him thinking about the surface of the paper, testing its limits with the graphite, as he tries to capture what he sees. It has been said that drawing is the honesty of art, there is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad. What do you think? It reminds me of Guston, who also loved to work on paper.
