Description

French artist (1896–1987) associated with the movements of Cubism and Surrealism. ALS in French, one page both sides, 8.25 x 5.25, January 9, 1958. Handwritten letter to a poet, in part (translated): "I really liked your poems and I thank you for sending them. They are something to say a lot. Each word carries something explicit and you have detected this and are using it. It would be necessary that in every village every door does. But we are far from it. And we will all die enraged, in bad months, as long as the officiant of language (this should be the position) lets himself be robbed by receipts which dampen Power, therefore Abuse, therefore Ubu." He adds a postscript along the edge: "I watch Andre Jacob’s 'Fugitives' with pleasure. Good support. Very good!" In fine condition.
