Prentbriefkaart aan Philip Zilcken before 1931

This is a postcard, likely made around 1913 by Anton L. Koster, and it's got this amazing handwritten script all over it. It's the kind of writing where the pressure on the pen changes with every stroke, making some lines thick and bold while others are thin and delicate. It gives the text a real sense of rhythm and movement. You can almost feel the hand of the artist as it moved across the paper, like a dance. There's this one looping flourish in the address that reminds me of Cy Twombly’s scribbles, playful and free. The ink itself has a beautiful texture, not quite black, but a deep, rich brown that adds warmth and depth to the image. This postcard feels like a conversation, a passing of thoughts and ideas between artists across time. It reminds me that art isn't just about finished products, but about the ongoing process of communication and exchange. It's messy, imperfect, and full of life.
