Letters and manuscript, 1918-1955.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77645902

Collection of letters addressed to various persons related to Lhote's activities. Among the topics are his contributions to the Salon d'automne (1919) and to the Indépendants (1920), work in progress, his trips to Spain and articles written by him as well as by others about his paintings and writings. In two letters to Elie Richard, the artist speaks about the reorientation of his own painting style and expresses admiration for Cubist painting (1920). He informs an unnamed friend that he has proposed her name as a potential new director of the Galerie Granoff (1927). In another letter he recommends an enclosed article by Pierre Marois to be published in Arts (n.d.) Two letters to Georges de Laprade grant him permission to reproduce any of Lhote's articles in Beaux Arts, and protest an "injuste" review of his book, Parlons Peinture, published in that periodical (1937). The second letter is typed on the back of a printed announcement of the Exposition d'Artistes de Montparnasse (May 20 - June 4) with a presentation signed by him. In a letter of 1951 also to Laprade (?) he is grateful for the words of appreciation published in Arts about "cet artiste double que je suis - et que haïssent les uns parce qu'il écrit, et les autres parce qu'il peint." At Dezarrois' inquiry about his Academy, Lhote replies that currently there are more talented women than men, naming Anne Willette and Aline Corbin as the best of all (1952). Other correspondents include Gustave Coquiot (1918), Louis Vauxcelles (1919), Pierre Abraham (1935), Marius Richard (1936) and Georges Armand Masson (1954-1955). In chronological order.
