crossing the threshold: Pieter de Hooch's transitional spaces

How do you get from A to B? Generally, you need to cross a threshold (or several) to get to your destination, but they often pass unnoticed. Pieter de Hooch was fascinated by thresholds. The difference between one space and another and what happens when someone crosses the border make up the real action in his paintings, which meditate on an everyday occurrence that can have life-changing consequences.
