Spanish painter and sculptor (1887-1927) associated with Cubism. Scarce ALS in French, one page, 5 x 8, February 2, 1920. Letter to influential art critic Louis Vauxcelles, who is credited with coining the terms 'Fauvism' and 'Cubism,' thanking him for his encouragement. In part (translated): "Having to face not only the indifference, but I would even say the injustice of the press in general toward me, your attitude on my behalf touches me and your present sympathy is a great encouragement. I would be all too happy to see you to speak with you about artistic things. While I wait for your answer, I will ask you to accept, dear sir, with my thanks, the expression of my great esteem." In fine condition, with a rough top edge. An important letter associating a then-unrecognized artist with a major critic.
