Description

“I have just had a good break by having sold six pictures at top prices to a rich guy”

TLS signed “Rockwell,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, October 28, 1950. Letter to Ned Travis. In part: “We became acquainted with a neighbor of ours—a summer visitor who was staying on after the season—a psychiatrist, and in talking about psychiatry in general she attacked the whole procedure of psychoanalysis as one that puts the analyst in a god-like role that calls for the subject’s abject surrender of will…We can’t help being a little amused at the charge that you were ‘stealing’ Charlotte’s personality. With all due respect and affection for Charlotte I would as soon try to steal the personality of a wild-cat…I have just had a good break by having sold six pictures at top prices to a rich guy who is a hundred per cent for me because of my politics.” In fine condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
