Brief aan Mien Cambier van Nooten Possibly 1938

This is a letter written by Dick Ket, and it looks like it dates from 1938. The page is filled with a dense, energetic script. The writing feels urgent, almost like a drawing in itself. You can almost feel Ket’s hand moving quickly across the page, capturing his thoughts as they come. I can imagine him sitting at his desk, maybe with a cup of coffee, pouring his heart out onto the page, a flurry of words and ideas. Look at the way the lines of text overlap and intersect. It reminds me of some of Cy Twombly's work— layers of meaning and emotion tangled together. Letters become abstract shapes. The text becomes texture. Maybe Ket was thinking about other artists, too, as he wrote. Artists are always in conversation with each other, borrowing ideas, pushing boundaries, making something new. This letter is a small, intimate glimpse into that process— the act of creation, thought, and feeling all at once.
