Brief aan Françoise W.M. Bonger Possibly 1969

G. Klockenbring penned this letter to Françoise W.M. Bonger in Land en Bosch on April 9, 1969. It’s the kind of handwriting that feels both formal and intimate. See how the ink varies in darkness, like breath held and released, a dance of pressure and pause on the page. The strokes remind me of Cy Twombly, but instead of oil paint on canvas, it's ink on paper. Each word has its own weight and rhythm, almost like a musical score. The letter becomes a visual poem, a dance between intent and accident. The controlled freedom is quite beautiful. It reminds us that writing, like painting, can be a deeply physical act, full of nuance and expression. Think of other artists who blur the line between word and image, like perhaps Brion Gysin or Henri Michaux. It suggests that art, in any form, is a means of communication, of bridging the gap between minds.
