CHAISSAC (Gaston) French painter and poet... - Lot 10 - Goxe - Belaisch - Hôtel des ventes d'Enghien
CHAISSAC (Gaston) French painter and poet (1910-1964) Autograph letter signed with drawing on the back, unfortunately insolated. [1962] 2 pp. in folio. The image on the reverse side has been treated by contrast processes, allowing to have an idea, but not remaining as materialized. A long letter in which the painter writes as he usually does, stating in the course of his thought and with a natural ease, the words that, one after the other, will become the sentences that will allow him to express his daily life, his ideas, his work, and the perspective of his future. Letter transcribed in the respect of the spelling. "I confuse Chinese and Japanese. It's like fly droppings, their possible diversity escapes me. But maybe I would still go to New York to try a career as a painter. But I was afraid that I would not know how to bend to my manager's wishes. I would like to have the chic of my neighbor and cousin M., who is a real feather in his cap. It is true that he is young and that everything goes to a beautiful boy. My grocer offered me some grand marnier which is taken I believe with the dessert. In the great century the alleys (?) were in fashion. I am struggling in a dilemma without name. It was Mrs. M who gave me the news that President Kenedy had been assassinated in [a] sunny day at the open car ride. Our writer Rabelais had I think sometimes some......of language. In my hometown, there was a veteran motorist whose son the oil man at home had rented the car in which he died. On the back, my tracing of one of my gouache drawings from 1942, or rather of one of my tracing fragments...".
