Maurice de Vlaminck letters, 1912-1954.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/123458406

Collection of ten letters sent to various friends, some unidentified, between 1912 and 1954. The artist writes to Ambroise Vollard about the price of the three paintings he sold to him (1912). He expresses condolences to Madame Gustave Coquiot at the death of her husband (1926). Vlaminck's wife invites Delamain to come for lunch at la Tourellière and select the clippings and "lettres des Hommes Célèbres" he wants, because her husband considers that a very boring chore (1934). The artist writes that he will not visit his friends in Paris, where he went only twice after 1939; but his daughter Edwige goes there frequently for music, and will see them soon (1945). He complains that the war disrupted his work on a new "bouquin" (1945) and describes the postwar misery: in the winter of 1946 their only heated room is the studio. In 1954 Vlaminck sends his correspondent supplementary information he deems necessary for the notice about his artistic career, such as the date of the painting "La Seine au Pecq" (1905) from his fauvist period, his main exhibitions and which foreign museums own his works.
