Laid in is a typed letter signed to Ossorio from Blake, sending him the book: "You might want to think of it as an exchange -- albeit an unequal one -- for the lovely painting you gave me many years ago...."Alfonso A. Ossorio [1916-1990] was an abstract expressionist artist born in Manila, Phillipines. At the age of fourteen, he moved to the United States, becoming a citizen in 1933. His work was influenced by his friend Jackson Pollock, whose work he admired and collected, and by the "art brut" of Jean Dubuffet whom he met in Paris in 1950. In the 1950s he began creating assemblages, which he called "congregations" and he was represented along with Dubuffet and many other artists in the 1961 exhibition "The Art of Assemblage" at the Museum of Modern Art, which introduced this form of art to the general public for the first time. He died in New York City in 1990. Blue Mountain Books & Manuscripts, Ltd.Book number: 27494 USD 35.00 [Appr.: EURO 26.5 | £UK 22.75 | JP¥ 3378] Catalogue: Sociology
