Distinguished English artist (1898–1986) best known for his abstract, often biomorphic sculptures. TLS, one page both sides, 4.5 x 7, November 29, 1949. In part: “Thank you for your letter of now more than a month ago. I should have answered before now, but I have been away from home in Paris over my exhibition there at the Musee de l’Art Moderne. I am very pleased to have the photographs and the enlargements of them. I think some of them came out very well, and looking at them now they look like another country than England for we are now having very wintry weather, dark and damp…Anyhow, although I appreciate very much that you should ask me to write an article, I am afraid I shall not be able to do so. I am very much behind with my sculpture and drawing, and I am likely to be so for many months to come, and so I am sure I shan’t get the time to do an article.” Wrinkling, light uniform toning, and show-through from type on opposing sides, otherwise fine condition.
