Brief aan onbekend, mogelijk August Allebé Possibly 1925 - 1929

This is a letter written by Jac van Looij, possibly to August Allebé, in 1925. Look at this handwriting. The ink meanders like a brook, sometimes dark and bold, other times fading, almost disappearing. It’s the kind of writing that reveals the hand, the body, the person behind it. You can almost feel Van Looij’s presence, the way he pressed the pen to paper. You see how the loops and lines are a kind of dance between thought and action. The letter, with its intimate script and aging paper, is a reminder that art isn't just about the finished product. It's about the conversation, the exchange, the human connection that breathes life into it. It shows that art is an ongoing process, a dialogue across time and between people. Much like my own work, it is about capturing fleeting moments and thoughts.
