How many
times have you felt like drawing but end up letting yourself down? And mainly
because of one reason: you don’t have the talent. One more question: how hard
have you actually tried to change that?
One of the
best writers of the 20th century did try: Franz Kafka. He wished to
become a draughtsman when he was still a student. His written work is certainly
more remarkable as The Trial, The Castle and The Metamorphosis prove; on the
other hand, his drawings did reach exposure in 2011.
A
collection of 40 drawings was edited by Niels Bokhove and Marijke van Dorst.
Each one includes texts that originally belonged to or matched with it.
Title in english: Franz Kafka pictorial artist
Kafka’s
technique wasn’t actually complex, if any. Simplicity is actually what makes
these drawings so expressive and enigmatic. Through them, he portrayed the thoughts that
came from his very core. And even when the texts aren’t clear enough on what he’s
representing, you may still interpret.
Let your
canvas portray what’s on your mind. Forget about the clarity of your drawings,
it’s not a must. That’s the beauty of it. Let imagination fly. Interpretation is,
and will always, be free.
Are you ready
to retake drawing?
