Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken before 1914

This postcard to Philip Zilcken by Léon Paschal, with its handwriting and stamp, feels like a little window into another time. I imagine Paschal holding this card, pen in hand, thinking about what to say. The ink flows, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, as he forms each letter. You can almost feel the pressure of the pen on the paper, the slight hesitation as he chooses his words. It's a tangible connection to a moment, a thought, a feeling. What was he trying to communicate, I wonder? For me, each stroke carries a bit of Paschal's energy. I'm reminded that artists are always in conversation, across time and space, sharing ideas, inspiring each other. This card is a reminder that painting, like writing, is a form of expression, full of ambiguity and open to endless interpretation.
