MATISSE HENRI: (1869-1954) French artist. T.L.S., Henri Matisse, one page, 8vo, Vence, 21st December 1944, to Monsieur Dagron, in French. Matisse thanks his correspondent for their kind letter, and continues ´Mais il ne m´est absolument pas possible de m´occuper actuellement d´un catalogue de mon oeuvre gravé car je n´ai pas de documents nécéssaires pour celà´ (Translation: ´However, it is absolutely impossible for me to work on a catalogue of my engraved works at present, as I do not have the necessary documents´) and also informs Dagron ´Quant à la statue de Maillol, l´opinion que le moment est mal choisi si confirme. Il faudra patienter quelques mois´ (Translation: ´As for the Maillol statue, I still believe that this is not the right time. We will have to wait a few months´). Accompanied by the original envelope. A couple of very light, minor creases, VG
Aristide Maillol (1861-1944) French sculptor, painter and printmaker. Maillol, whose work inspired Matisse, had died in an automobile accident in September 1944, a few months before the present letter was signed.
