Further details
« J’espère quand même trouver une très modeste retraite, bien clôturée et facile à ravitailler. Je n’ai plus besoin que de calme et de sécurité. Car maintenant, d’une année à l’autre, mes forces ne feront que s’amoindrir, pour le dernier refuge. A ce propos. J’ai peint une toile qui s’appelle « Le Refuge ». La connais-tu ? C’est une fort simple maison forestière ensoleillée sous un arbre en fleurs. Elle ferait bien chez toi, je crois, je te l’offre. »
Lettre à Alice, Paris, 30 octobre 1961.
‘I still hope to find a very modest retreat, well fenced and easy to supply. All I require now is peace and security. Because now, from one year to the following, my strength will only diminish, for the last refuge. By the way. I've painted a picture called ‘Le Refuge’. Do you know it? It's a very simple, sunny forest house under a tree in bloom. I think it would look good in your house, and I'm gifting it to you’. Letter to Alice, Paris, 30 October 1961.
