MAGRITTE René (1898-1967) Lot n° 20

L.A.S. "RM", Brussels 24 September 1964, to his friend André BOSMANS; 1 page in8 at his header. On The Debacle of Zola. He received La Débâcle well: "It is a pity that it is (for me) absolutely illegible. If it is really like that, it is a masterpiece in the sense that it has the same cockroachy power as the subject treated. Indeed, should one ask a book on war to be pleasant to read, to be exciting in one way or another? That would be sadism"... He sends a print that is not quite stupid, and evokes a text by Bosmans for the magazine Rhétorique.
