Letter to Dr. Herta Wescher, 1959 August 27.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82544817

The painter John Banting answers Herta Wescher's request for biographic information and reproductions of his works for the book she is writing about collages. The artist sends autobiographical information, and describes a few collages which were exhibited in the 1936 surrealist show in London, Paris and New York. He quotes E.L.T. Mesens, who considers him a "veteran of modern art", and closes his letter with the statement: "I have never been a pure abstractionalist although some of my things are abstract. Mostly they are semi-abstract."
