Brief aan Anneus Marinus Brouwer Possibly 1923 - 1925

This letter, penned by Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst in 1923, is a reminder that artists are always in conversation, exchanging ideas across time. I can almost imagine the act of writing it. Each word carefully chosen, arranged across the page, shifting and emerging through trial, error, and intuition. What might Holst have been thinking as he wrote this letter? Perhaps he was pondering the relationship between art and spirituality, or reflecting on the power of language to convey complex ideas and emotions. The letter feels like a conversation between friends, or fellow artists. It’s this exchange of ideas across time that inspires creativity. Holst's letter is a form of embodied expression, embracing ambiguity and uncertainty. It allows for multiple interpretations and resists fixed or definitive readings.
