Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1928

This postcard was written by Adriaan Pit and sent to Philip Zilcken in 1928. You know, sometimes the most interesting art isn’t what’s hanging in the galleries, but what’s been sent through the mail. Look at how the postal markings and smudges create a surface that's aged and imperfect. Each stamp, each blurred line of handwriting, and each cancellation mark tells a story, not just of the sender and receiver, but of the journey this little card took through the world. It's the texture of history, right? The handwriting is so delicate, the ink almost faded. The writer’s loop-de-loops give it a sense of intimacy, like a whisper across time. This reminds me of Cy Twombly, whose scribbled marks also invite us to decode hidden meanings. But really, art's not about finding one answer, it's about the questions it stirs up.
