This is a Christmas card for 1936 from Henk Bijlsma, and it's all about simple forms and stark contrasts. The whole thing is printed in a single, earthy brown ink, which gives it a grounded, almost primitive feel. I'm really drawn to the symbol at the top— a triangle containing a kind of spiral shape. It’s like a secret code, and the way it’s slightly off-center gives it a handmade quality. Look closely, and you can see the texture of the paper coming through the ink, adding to that sense of raw honesty. It reminds me a bit of Paul Klee’s work, with that same interest in childlike mark-making and mystical symbolism. But unlike Klee's whimsical watercolors, this card has a stern, almost urgent tone. It feels less about decoration and more about communication. It's a potent reminder that art isn't just about beauty, it's about connecting with each other and sharing something meaningful.
