Description

“I am at your disposition for the signing and this will also permit me to see my painting again”

French painter and lithographer (1867–1947). He trained at the Académie Julien, then joined the group called Les Nabis, which included Denis and Vuillard, with whom he formed the Intimist group. Ignoring the movement towards abstraction, he continued to paint interiors and landscapes, in which everything is subordinated to the subtlest rendering of light and color effects. ALS in French, signed “Bonnard,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, no date. Letter to an unidentified gentleman. In full (translated): “I thank you for the news from Paris. I am at your disposition for the signing and this will also permit me to see my painting again. I will probably stay at Le Cannet for some time.” At the bottom, Bonnard adds his address. In fine condition, with central vertical fold and a touch of mild toning. RRAuction COA.
