Buildings 1896

Editor: This intriguing piece, simply titled "Buildings" by Denman Waldo Ross, presents a monochromatic scene rendered in what appears to be watercolor. It evokes a sense of quiet observation, almost like a fleeting memory. What catches your eye when you look at it? Curator: It’s like stumbling upon a hidden world, isn’t it? I see the artist capturing not just the buildings themselves, but the very essence of a place, its soul. The lack of color forces us to focus on the shapes, the light and shadow…almost like a dreamscape where the familiar becomes slightly…uncanny. It is as if he wants the viewers to pause and look deeper into our surroundings. Editor: Uncanny, yes, that's a great way to describe it! Thanks for sharing your insights. Curator: My pleasure! It's always fun to wander through art and share ideas.
