Marie LAURENCIN. L.A.S. with original watercolor, June 14, 1 - Lot 340

Marie LAURENCIN. L.A.S. with original watercolor, June 14, 1953, to a friend; 4 pages in-12, pen and watercolor. Lovely letter illustrated on the last page with a young woman in a yellow dress in watercolor. She postpones Tuesday's posing session: "Marcel Jouhandeau is coming to bring me an illustrated erotic book in the company of the illustrator and another boy. Then I have to go to my ailing friend's house". She complains that Delft rusks, "our loves", are so hard to find, while the shops are flooded with Reinette rusks! She wants him to know André Beucler, "because although he's a talented writer, he's quick-witted - and makes advertising the world's number one machine at the moment. [...] He's witty too, and has written a lively book on Léon-Paul Fargue. He knows the bistros at the Bastille"... On the last page, a charming watercolor of a young woman in a yellow dress against a blue background.
