Bomen en een tent in een landschap 1919

Reijer Stolk made this drawing, Bomen en een tent in een landschap, with ink on paper. It's all in the name, right? Trees, a tent, landscape. The speed of the line really gets me here. Stolk's putting down what's in front of him, the essence of a place in looping curls and tight hatching. It reminds me of Guston's nervous line, always searching, grabbing at the thing itself. The composition emerges through the doing, I think. I imagine Stolk, out in the landscape, maybe in a rush, trying to get the scene down before the light changes. Or perhaps he was trying to get it down before something else changed, or was lost.
