Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1928

This postcard to Philip Zilcken was made with ink on card by Adriaan Pit. The writing is pretty free, almost like a sketch. It has a lightness and ease, like a quick thought jotted down. The material itself is humble – just a simple postcard. But look closely, and you see the texture of the card, the way the ink bleeds slightly, creating soft edges. Each stroke feels immediate, a direct transfer of thought to paper. And isn't it funny how handwriting can be so expressive? The loops and curves, the way the letters lean – it's like a little dance. It reminds me of Cy Twombly, the way he made writing into art, blurring the line between language and gesture. What I love about this piece is how it captures a moment in time, a fleeting connection between two people. It shows art is really about the conversation, the exchange of ideas and feelings. It's about embracing ambiguity and finding meaning in the everyday.
