Brief aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1928

This letter to Philip Zilcken seems to have been composed in Nice, using ink on paper. The words are dancing for us. The pressure and flow of ink varies, sometimes darker and heavier, then lighter and quicker, like a little calligraphic performance. It's like a tightrope walker, balancing legibility and expression. You can feel the nib of the pen digging into the paper, leaving a physical trace of Versavoice’s thoughts. The ink pools in certain spots, creating dark accents that punctuate the page. It's all about this push and pull, this tension between control and chance. I'm reminded of Cy Twombly’s scribbled paintings, where language becomes pure gesture. Both artists seem to be searching for a way to bypass the rational mind and tap into something more intuitive. It's a reminder that art, in all its forms, is a conversation, a back-and-forth between the artist, the materials, and ultimately, the viewer. There’s always room for interpretation and reinterpretation.
