37. [title not known] 

Editor: This print, '37. [title not known]' by Alexander Cozens, looks like it was made quickly, with bold, expressive strokes. I'm curious, what can you tell me about the process and materials used here? Curator: Well, the materiality of this work is key. Consider the paper itself, its texture and likely sourcing. And what of the ink? Its consistency would dictate the breadth and depth of those strokes. Cozens wasn't just depicting a landscape; he was exploring the physical act of creation. Editor: So, it’s less about the scene and more about how it was made? Curator: Precisely. Think about the labor involved, the artist's hand, the tools used. How does the repetitive, almost mechanical nature of the marks speak to broader ideas about production and consumption in the 18th century? Editor: I never thought about it that way! It’s fascinating to consider the labor involved and the context of production. Curator: Indeed, and it allows us to question what we value as "art" versus "craft".
