Pretty illustrated letter from the artist, decorated with a beautiful print of colors, about two books dedicated to her art
« Monsieur
Il existe chez Pauvert éditeur un livre sur moi texte de Brion et plusieurs reproductions [de dessins] – dont certains en couleurs. Vous pouvez le commander dans toutes les librairies.
En octobre sortira une grande monographie sur moi à [la maison d’édition] la Guilde du livre – en Suisse.
Je vous souhaite une bonne année [19]68
Leonor Fini »
The artist refers here to two works concerning her works:
The first is Leonor Fini est son œuvre, by Jean-Jacques Pauvert, ed. Marcel Brion, published in 1962
The second is Leonor Fini, The Guild of the Book, ed. Konstantin Jelensky, published in 1968 as indicated in the letter
An important figure of surrealism, Leonor Fini was a very prolific artist in the fields of painting, engraving, lithography, theater decoration and writing.
Many poets, writers, painters and critics will devote monographs, essays, prefaces to exhibitions or poems to him.
