Author: ROUAULT, Georges Henri
Title: Autograph Letter Signed
Description: Paris, 27 June 1919. Letter. A one-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED with initials and written in French on a 4-3/4" x 6-1/2" sheet of paper folded in half with the address on the verso, date and place taken from envelope. Addressed to Mr. Gorardin [likely Maurice Girardin, a Parisian dentist who became a successful art dealer]. Roughly translated: "I have given the matter a great deal of thought and we will talk about it once again. Think about the workshops and let me know what you have learned, unless I find something at Versailles or farther. Forgive my reluctance. It is not due to a lack of confidence or of friendship which you will better understand when we talk. I hate to tie myself down but have a great love for my independence, and I don't know to which it refers, morally advantageous. See you on Wednesday. Minor paper loss at the right margin. About Fine Rouault (1871-1958) was a French painter, draughtsman, and printer whose devout Catholicism heavily influenced his paintings whose subjects were primarily clowns, prostitutes, and Jesus Christ. His work is especially revered in Japan.
