Gaston CHAISSAC (1910-1964). L.A.S., [circa 1950?], to André Bloc; 2 pages petit in-4 on a squared sheet of school notebook. Very nice letter on his painting. "I am thinking about your cardboard and that it is quite possible that what I painted on it is too undignified and I must hesitate to deliver it to you like that but there is something I can do to fix it: it is that I paint on the other side with gouache something, something with traces of peelings, peelings and breaks because that is the only way I paint now. ...] My biggest mural would probably please Dubuffet, but my wife doesn't like it either, she thinks it's too coarse and not well done. I painted a small painting this year that is quite sober in colour and has a stretched background. My paintings of broken glass, pottery and crockery prints are similar to Picasso's works, while my paintings of peel prints are similar to Dubuffet's works. My best gouache depicting both squash peel prints and a full-length portrait is done on the back of an oil painting I made from a drawing by Maurice Charriau, it is a portrait and it looks like a bocain. Maybe you read in Samedi-soir that I paint with orange peel prints. It's very false and I have neither oranges or even orange peels and who knows if someone has not written these lies to suggest that I am covered with a mountain of oranges to protect me from frost. Perhaps one day I will paint paintings representing both sugar beet peel prints and full-length portraits "...
