Prentbriefkaart aan Philip Zilcken before 1924

This is a postcard to Philip Zilcken by Selma Boasson, and look at that, it's dated 1914. A postcard is such an intimate format, right? Like a little thought bubble sent across space and time. I think the most striking thing is the handwriting, it’s all-over, as if the artist has a compulsive need to fill every space and corner. See how the words loop and connect, creating this overall dark tone. The text is almost like an abstract mark, it's so immediate. You know, painting or drawing, it’s like you have to get it down, that feeling, that moment. This is what process art is, in the purest sense. The stamps in the corner, those little squares of color, they're like tiny paintings themselves, adding another layer of texture and meaning to the whole thing. This piece reminds me of Cy Twombly, in how it elevates the everyday scribble into something poetic and profound. The postcard becomes more than just a message; it's a tangible record of a moment, a place, a feeling, preserved in ink and paper.
