BOURDELLE Antoine (1861 - 1929)
L.A.S. "Ant. Bourdelle", Paris October 19, 1926, to Etienne Coÿne| 2 pages in-4 and 1 1/2 pages in-12.
About the sculptor Alphonse Dumilatre (1844 - 1928).
It is necessary to make a gesture of justice towards this artist, and for that he recommends in the first place to write to the Society of the French Artists: "I am part of it from afar because I do not mingle with the official things (lacking time for that), but I believe that it is among the soul of this society that Mr. Dumilâtre must count old comrades"...
He plans to write to Poincaré and Doumergue, whom he knows a little, so that they put pressure on Paul Léon, director of Fine Arts, "to whom I will ask for a decoration"... It is also necessary to write to the
Free Society of the Artists "which being a well organized force and recognized of public utility has more power than a single person"...
