Brief aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1929

This is Anna Pica-Marazzani’s “Brief aan Philip Zilcken”, and it looks like it was made with ink on paper. Just looking at this, I can imagine Anna’s hand moving across the page, a real dance between thought and action. The marks are quick and flowing, and the words almost seem to leap off the page. It's like the artist is in a hurry to get everything down, you know? I can almost feel the rhythm of her writing, the way the letters connect and loop around one another. I wonder what she was thinking about as she wrote, what emotions she was trying to convey. Maybe she was just trying to work something out, to make sense of her own thoughts and feelings in the process. There's a real beauty in that kind of raw, unfiltered expression, and it reminds me that art isn't always about perfection or polish. Sometimes it's just about putting something down, making a mark, and seeing where it leads. It’s as if Anna is talking to me directly. I’m in awe of her.
