Writer in the Snow
Writer in the Snow is a depiction of how creativity often feels to me. Even when surrounded by artistic resources weighing down bookshelves and cluttering walls, inspiration is regularly found from everyday natural phenomena. With the tensions between simplicity and complexity as its subject, the illustration also quietly references the 19th century French humorist Alphonse Allais pioneering minimalist art despite this credit often going to Malevich’s decades-later “The Black Square”, due perhaps to dusty distinctions between ‘high art’ and ‘low art’.
