Summary | "Gekken" by Jacobus van Looy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Johan, a young artist who is navigating the complexities of friendship, ambition, and his creative journey while residing in a foreign land. The narrative paints a vivid picture of his experiences, from the stark contrasts of his life in Amsterdam to his artistic struggles in Italy. The opening of the novel sets the scene as Johan prepares to leave the Hôtel-Central, where he has been staying, causing him to reflect on the passage of time. He receives a letter from a friend back home that stirs up memories of camaraderie and the challenges he faced while pursuing his artistic studies. Despite the initial excitement of travel and potential recognition at a prestigious competition, Johan grapples with feelings of isolation and frustration as he struggles to reconcile his aspirations with the realities of his life as an artist abroad. The interplay of his longing for connection and the harsh judgments from his peers begins to shape a complex inner conflict, laying the groundwork for a compelling exploration of identity and artistic purpose.
