Artikel uit archief Philip Zilcken after 1915

This is an article from the Philip Zilcken archive by Wenzel Frankemölle. It’s a text-based work, words carefully arranged on the page. I can imagine Frankemölle poring over the layout, adjusting each line to achieve a certain visual rhythm, or maybe he had no say over its layout? What was Frankemölle thinking as he wrote this? Was he even thinking? Maybe he was feeling his way through the text, letting his intuition guide him? You get the sense that for Frankemölle, writing wasn't just about conveying information; it was about creating a kind of embodied experience for the reader, a space for contemplation and reflection. The way the language is worked, the texture of the sentences, you know? It reminds me of other artist-writers, people like William Blake, whose illustrated books combined text and image in a way that expanded the possibilities of both. Artists are always having conversations with each other across time, bouncing ideas around and inspiring each other's creativity.
