Brief aan Jan Veth Possibly 1913

This letter was written with ink on paper by someone at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten on December 8th, 1913. The script loops and leans in on itself. Look at how it almost dances. I can imagine the writer taking their time and enjoying the sensation of the pen gliding across the page. It's a deeply satisfying feeling, leaving a dark trace in the wake of your thoughts. You have to wonder, what did the writer think as they were working? The material presence of ink on paper creates an intimate connection with the artist. I can almost feel their presence in the room. The letter is a personal reflection. I wonder how the writer’s approach to writing might mirror their creative process in other mediums. It's a reminder that art is a conversation across time and space, inspiring new generations to express themselves.
