Aantekening betreffende Matthijs Maris Possibly 1910 - 1919

This page of script was written by Pieter Haverkorn van Rijsewijk, likely with ink on paper. The writing is so dense, so full, it feels like the words are trying to escape the page. Each letter is formed with a clear, confident stroke, yet they huddle together, a community of marks. It reminds me that artmaking is a process of accumulation, of layering thought upon thought, experience upon experience. The ink looks dark and consistent, suggesting a steady hand and a clear vision. Imagine the writer, hunched over the paper, lost in thought, each word carefully chosen and placed. The texture of the paper is smooth and slightly absorbent. The letters bleed a little, adding a softness to the overall effect. I'm drawn to the way the lines curve and intersect, creating a rhythm that's almost musical. It's like a secret code, a language that only a few can understand. It makes me think of Cy Twombly, scribbling away at his mythological references. Art is an ongoing conversation, after all, a continuous exchange of ideas across time.
