Brief aan Sjoerd Kuperus 1903 - 1945

This letter, written by Jac. P. Thijsse, feels like a whispered conversation, a delicate dance between pen and paper. The ink meanders across the page, a dark, almost shadowy presence against the pale ground, each stroke deliberate yet yielding to the flow. The texture of the handwriting itself becomes a landscape, full of peaks and valleys, moments of clarity and gentle obfuscation. It’s in the loops of the ‘K’ and the firm line of the signature, that we sense Thijsse's hand, a physical connection to his thoughts. Look at the way the words cluster, almost huddling together for warmth and meaning, then stretch out again, like little drawings. It’s a reminder that art isn’t just about the final product, but the journey, the process of mark-making itself. Thijsse’s words echo the spirit of Vincent van Gogh, who, like him, found endless inspiration in the natural world. Both artists remind us that art is an ongoing conversation, a dialogue across time and mediums, where ambiguity and interpretation reign supreme.
