Brief aan jonkheer Hendrik Teding van Berkhout (1879-1969) Possibly 1932

This is a letter from 1932 by Jo van Oosten Slingeland, penned with ink on paper. Imagine the hand that guided the pen, each stroke a deliberate dance across the page. The ink, a faded grey, speaks of time passed, of words carefully chosen and laid down. It's like a quiet conversation, a sharing of thoughts and emotions between the sender and the receiver. I wonder, what was on Slingeland's mind as they wrote? What prompted this correspondence? There's a rhythm to the script, a flow that suggests a mind at work, grappling with ideas and feelings. It reminds me of Cy Twombly, his scribbles hinting at hidden depths. Letters like this remind us that art is everywhere, that even the simplest act of communication can be imbued with beauty and meaning. It’s a reminder that we are all connected, part of a larger conversation that spans across time and space.
