René MAGRITTE (1898-1967). L.A.S. "M." with drawing, Thursda - Lot 80

René MAGRITTE (1898-1967). L.A.S. "M." with drawing, Thursday, to Jacques Wergifosse; 1 page in-8. Beautiful letter with a magnificent drawing of dreamlike eroticism.

Let's talk about something else: the S.D. prices seem fair, so we'll get the ball rolling. Last night I saw something good". Magritte then draws his dream (12.5x8.5cm, pen drawing, black ink), and comments on it in the margin: "bridge with white barrier at edge, stuck to a woman. The torn (?) part of the bridge is covered with a sheet. Strange and beautiful!"... A superb drawing depicting a dreamlike vision with obvious erotic implications: a giant nude woman with a single-arched bridge pier embedded in her lower abdomen; on the opposite pier, a sheet is thrown up as a veil. The erotic connotation of the bridge's spanning, substituted for the spreading of the female legs, is continued by the bridge's protrusion, which gives the giantess an oversized phallic appendage, over which we can only cast a veil of modesty...
