Letters received : Bordeaux, from André Lhote and Ary Leblond, Paris, 1908-1929.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77630952

Two sets of letters written to Frizeau by his Paris agents contain art world news and often detailed descriptions of works of art. Lhote and Leblond had opposing aesthetic orientations and their views often clash (on cubism, for instance). The letters convey the almost complete cultural isolation of Bordeaux at the turn of the century.

168 letters.
