Ontwerp voor een sluitzegel voor de Vakschool voor de Typografie in Utrecht 1910

This print, "Ontwerp voor een sluitzegel voor de Vakschool voor de Typografie in Utrecht", is an exciting example of Pieter Dupont's work. The all-over red, delicate line work makes me think about the whole process of art-making, how one careful line leads to another, and the cumulative effect this has. The most interesting thing about this print is the texture. The lines have been engraved with a very fine tool and are very close together. This gives the surface a tactile quality, even though it's just a design for a seal. If you look closely, you can see how the artist has used the lines to create different tones and shadows. This level of detail shows Dupont's skill and precision. It feels like a deep conversation with the material, where the medium itself becomes a language. For me, this print is like a conversation between different approaches to image making. It's a reminder that art is always evolving, building on what came before, and pushing towards something new.
