COCTEAU Jean (1889 - 1963)
3 L.A.S. "Jean", one with DRAWING, [1941 - 1955], to DORA MAAR| 1 page in-4 each.
Friendly correspondence to Dora Maar, evoking Picasso.
[For the past few days, from the depths of my flu, I have been trying to telephone you and your telephone works in a vacuum. I would very much like to know if you like the pictures. I don't dare bother PICASSO and you. But I think of you and of him all the time. He wanted to go to the Deux Magots, but feared that "Eluard would be embarrassed if he was there.
I love and admire him too much to create the slightest embarrassment between us"...
[I am very sad to learn of your mourning and I would like to run to you, but I lead an incredible life of a novelist and I return to Joinville. What happens to you and Picasso will happen to me. My mother is a ghost and yet losing her will be hard. I lost my mother when I learned that you had lost yours. He embraces his "dear little Dora" from the bottom of his heart.
"Tell Picasso that I managed to get some pretty amazing film footage. This business of disorder and madness amuses me a lot". He then talks about the Anchorena who want to buy the harpsichord of Cazatzus [Casadesus?] "unique piece" to cover it with slate and chalk"...
December 1955, with a drawing of a head in grease pencil: "I am very, very proud of this phantom portrait and I embrace you. But will I be able to see it without it disappearing?"...
