Brief aan Frans Buffa en Zonen Possibly 1891

This is a letter written by Alessandro Zezzos, likely in 1891, with ink on paper. The dominant visual experience is the interplay of lines, which form the elegant cursive script against the plain background of the stationary. The composition is structured by these lines of text, creating a visual rhythm that guides the eye. The materiality of the ink, with its varying thickness and tonality, adds depth to the flat surface. We can explore how the artwork creates meaning through its structural composition and the semiotic system inherent in language. The script itself functions as a series of signs. Each word is a cultural code that requires interpretation. This is an engagement with new ways of thinking about communication and representation. The formal quality of line in the letter doesn't just function aesthetically but also as a key component of language and cultural exchange. The letter becomes a site of ongoing interpretation.
