Prentbriefkaart aan Philip Zilcken before 1923

Rose Imel created this postcard to Philip Zilcken, dated Feb 20, 1923, likely with pen on paper. Look at the delicate lines and marks. I can imagine her hand moving across the card, writing quickly and deliberately. The ink, thin and dark against the pale card, evokes a sense of immediacy. I find myself thinking about her state of mind as she wrote. Perhaps she was lost in thought, her words flowing effortlessly from her pen. Or maybe she paused, searching for the right words to express what was in her heart. Like other painters, Rose Imel experiments with different ways of seeing and experiencing the world. And through her work, she invites us to do the same. Artists are always in conversation with one another, inspiring new forms of creative expression.
