Presentielijst van de vergadering van 10 juni 1904 voor de Albert Neuhuys-hulde Possibly 1904 - 1910

This is a list of signatures on paper from a meeting on June 10, 1904, a tribute to Albert Neuhuys. Just look at the movement in each signature! How each person has used the pen, the pressure they've applied to the page, and the way the letters almost dance across the page. The differences in the letterforms, looping ascenders and descenders, create a rhythm—almost like a musical score. Some are bold and confident, others more tentative, like they’re feeling their way. It's like they are all in a conversation, each adding their voice to the mix. I imagine each person bending over the paper, taking their turn to leave their mark, maybe thinking about the artist they were honoring, maybe just thinking about getting it over with so they could get a drink! It reminds us that art is not just about the grand gestures but also these small acts of expression, the accumulation of individual voices that create a community, and a history.
