Bos op de Cap Martin bij Monaco before 1903

Here's a photograph by Franz Goerke, showing a forest on Cap Martin near Monaco. It's like a dance of light and shadow, isn't it? I imagine Goerke wandering through this forest, his camera like an extension of his eye, searching for the perfect composition. I bet he was chasing a feeling, a mood—the way the light filters through the leaves, creating these dappled patterns on the ground. It reminds me of the paintings of Gerhard Richter, how he blurs the line between abstraction and representation. In a way, Goerke is doing something similar here, capturing the essence of the forest, rather than just a literal depiction. It’s about seeing the world in a new way, isn't it? And I think that’s what art is all about—inspiring each other to look closer, to see more, and to feel more.
