BELLMER Hans (1902–1975)
Autograph letter signed ‘Hans Bellmer’, Friday afternoon, to a friend [the Bordeaux collector Claude RICHARD]; 1 page, in-4, on pink tissue paper.
Note:
He thanks him for sending a ‘lifesaving money order’, which will enable him to have the two paintings framed. He offers to help his correspondent’s friend find a job as a model in haute couture, through Georgette CAMILLE or Leonor FINI. He then mentions the plan to paint a portrait of this friend: ‘I’d like to start gathering ideas for it right away. Do you have any photographs? Next: I’d very much like you or she to write to me, whilst imagining this future portrait or these possible options – do even try to sketch some drawings, however rough they may be. Such an initial exchange would be of great help to me. I am indeed thinking of a portrait of the whole person, not just the head’… He was about to begin the portrait of Georgette Camille.
