Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1916

Adriaan Pit sent this postcard to Philip Zilcken from Amsterdam in 1916, but I wonder if it arrived? The inky blue-black writing zigzags across the card, and the odd stamp and seal add to the collage effect. What was Pit thinking as he penned this message? I imagine he was feeling something as he wrote – a thought, a question, maybe some news he was itching to share. It's so casual and fleeting, this exchange. I feel like I'm intruding on a private moment. It reminds me of the way Cy Twombly scrawled on surfaces, making writing into a kind of drawing. Sometimes I feel like handwriting can be deeply expressive, revealing as much about the writer's mood or energy as the actual words. You know, artists have always borrowed from one another, sending messages across time through their work. We’re all just trying to figure things out, and these little exchanges keep the conversation flowing. Each mark carries a story, a feeling, a connection.
