BRASSAÏ (1899-1984) Lot n° 20

2 typed letters, autograph corrections and signatures, to Jean Leymarie. 2 pages. Beautiful signature. Èze, July 27, 1966 : "I was really enchanted by your beautiful and so moving letter. Thank you again. The passage about the exhibition of all those paintings from the Louvre in the courtyard of the château de Montal is so vivid and evocative that I will put it in your mouth as it is. (...) I will also have the pleasure of showing you the photos taken the other day at Picasso's house. Èze, October 22, 1966: "I suppose you read in Figaro Littéraire (...) the text in question on Picasso. Unfortunately most of the passages concerning you-I gave it as you read it-were cut by the editors, and in particular the one in which you so eloquently recounted your wonderment at the open-air masterpieces in the courtyard of the château." Small folds and minor foxing.
