Brief aan Françoise W.M. Bonger Possibly 1972 - 1978

H. Dorra wrote this ‘Brief aan Françoise W.M. Bonger’ in 1972 in California. The words flow in blue ink across the page like a gentle stream of thought. It reminds me of the letters artists write, filled with gratitude and reflection. I imagine Dorra sitting at a desk, pen in hand, carefully crafting each word. Maybe they paused, mid-sentence, lost in thought about the Bonger documents. You can feel their appreciation for the opportunity to study them. It’s like they're sifting through layers of history and influence, absorbing inspiration. The texture of the paper, the slight imperfections in the handwriting – it all speaks to a moment in time. It’s a reminder that art isn’t just about grand gestures. It’s also about the quiet, intimate moments of connection and exchange. Like when you are in the studio and you are trying to figure something out and then the solution comes to you, like a gift. It is what keeps you going. It’s like a secret language between artists, echoing across decades.
