Brief aan jonkheer Hendrik Teding van Berkhout (1879-1969) Possibly 1913 - 1919

This letter, penned by Frans Everbag in 1913, is more than just words on paper; it’s a peek into the artist’s mind. I imagine Everbag hunched over his desk, the nib of his pen scratching against the page, each stroke a deliberate act. You can almost feel the weight of his thoughts as he forms each word. He writes of prints, colours, and exhibitions. I wonder, what was the Grafische tentoonstelling? What inspired these thoughts? I find it fascinating how the simple act of writing becomes a form of expression, a way to communicate not just facts, but also feelings and intentions. Like paint, ink can convey so much with its texture and flow. It’s a reminder that artists are always in conversation, exchanging ideas across time, inspiring each other’s creativity.
