MIRÓ, Joan (1893-1983)
Lettre autographe signée à Henri Matarasso avec dessin original au crayon, Palma de Majorque, 6 juillet 1957.
2 pp. sur 1 feuillet in-4 (275 x 217 mm), datée du 6 juillet 1957. Encre bleue, crayons bleu et rouge, sur papier à en-tête "Joan Miró". (Très légères déchirures en marge ou au niveau des marques de pliures)

Très belle lettre au galeriste Henri Matarasso, illustrée d'un dessin original en couleurs de Joan Miró.

Datée du 6 juillet 1957, la lettre fait suite à l'exposition de Miró organisée par Matarasso dans sa galerie à Nice, du 17 mai au 17 juin de la même année (voir lot n° 253, croquis préparatoire pour l'affiche de cette exposition). L'artiste remercie le galeriste et l'invite à séjourner à Palma de Majorque : "Je suis enchanté de cette dernière soirée passée à Paris, j'espère qu'on s'y rencontrera souvent. [...] Je vous conseille de venir soit en automne, la lumière est très belle, ou au début février, avec les amandiers en fleur, c'est comme une estampe japonaise de rêve." Miró, ravi, commente son exposition niçoise : "Je suis heureux que vous soyez content de mon exposition, moi aussi je suis content de l'avoir faite dans ce pays, si ressemblant à Majorque." Il accompagne sa lettre d'un dessin d'oiseau stylisé aux crayons rouge et bleu, ainsi que d'une étoile.

Beautiful signed autograph letter to Henri Matarasso following the Miró exhibition he held in his gallery in Nice in May-June 1957, with an original drawing in red and blue by the artist.
