Brief aan anoniem Possibly 1936

This letter, "Brief aan anoniem" by Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst, was written on April 10th, 1936. The handwriting is light, almost as if the words are floating on the page, like thoughts barely tethered to reality. Looking closely, you can see the slight variations in pressure, the way the ink pools in certain spots, and the delicate lines connecting each letter. It’s a dance between intention and accident, a conversation between the artist and the material. That phrase that looks like "hilgazoul" to me, it’s like a little window into the artist’s mind. The way the letters loop and curve creates a rhythm that is both intimate and elusive. It reminds me of Cy Twombly, with that similar sense of urgency and vulnerability. The piece feels like a reminder that art is, at its heart, an act of communication, an attempt to connect with another human being across time and space.
