Schooner, Saint-Tropez (Saint-Tropez, la goelette) 1927

Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac made "Schooner, Saint-Tropez," with etching, and it's all about the power of suggestion. The marks are loose, almost like scribbles, but they come together to form a very clear image of a boat in a harbor. I love the way Segonzac uses line to create depth and texture. Look at the sky, it's just a series of horizontal lines, but it feels like a vast expanse. And the water, with its shimmering reflections, is so simply rendered, yet so effective. The whole piece is like a quick sketch, capturing a fleeting moment. The artist is really making marks and letting the image emerge from them. Just like life, it's all about the process. Segonzac reminds me of someone like Picasso, who was also interested in playing with line and form. Art is a conversation. It's never really finished, it's always changing, always evolving.
