HÉLION Jean (1904-1987).
4 L.A.S. "Hélion" and 1 L.S. with autograph additions, Rockbridge Baths (Virginia) 1937-1939, Dreux and Paris 1940-1954, to Raymond QUENEAU| 14 pages, various sizes, one envelope.
Rockbridge Baths June 28, 1937. Long letter, in which Hélion evokes the idea of creating a literary review, with "a very compact, modest presentation, where all the violence is concentrated in the quality of the text and the illustrations," in which Georges Pelorson, Michel Leiris, Henry Miller, Pierre Gueguen, Le Corbusier, Joyce, Ramuz, and of course Queneau would participate... On December 27, he expresses his reservations about his collaboration with the journal Volontés, refusing to write articles for at least a year, and expressing his reservations about Henry Miller, who "turns odiously into a jester"... He worked hard before his exhibition in New York, but he was worried about his dying father... June 4, 1939: "I am in the midst of studies in which I am putting all my hopes of making a painting that satisfies the right side and the wrong side...
Paris, June 12, 1954: "It gave me great pleasure to see you at my exhibition at Mayo's. I am now at work on some new paintings. I am now at work on more ambitious canvases, and I hope to invite you to a more substantial opening in a year's time"...
Attached is a postcard a.s. to Janine Queneau, Dreux 5 February 1940: he is "freshly arrived from America after a moving crossing", and asks for Raymond's address.
