Editor: Here we have Hercules Brabazon Brabazon's watercolor, "Akaba." The washes of color give it such a dreamlike quality. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It feels like a memory, doesn't it? The buildings are solid, yet the light makes them seem to dissolve. The East was a source of endless fascination for artists. He captures a mood, an essence. Editor: So, less about precise detail, more about feeling? Curator: Exactly! Brabazon prioritized impression over strict representation. Editor: I see it now. It's like a fleeting moment captured perfectly. Curator: And that fleeting moment speaks volumes, doesn't it?
