ROUAULT Georges (1871-1958).
L.A. (minute?), [circa 1930?], to a lady| 2 pages in-4.
Beautiful letter with poem.
Rouault discusses a project he will carry out the following autumn: "For the projects in question in September I am not in Paris. I can't come back before the end of October at the earliest, there's no hurry".
Evoking the difficulties of creating in the hustle and bustle of Paris, the letter takes a more poetic course: "I envy you, I had intended to pass through there with my daughter, but in Paris there's no way of fixing anything, it's only in solitude that one is one's master, although without boasting I was able to find a way of being solitary in the midst of the most frantic din. All I hear now is the charming sound of clear water, and in the most dreadful draughts or the discordant shrieks of awful mouths, I wander under merciful skies"... Georges Rouault is also a poet, and he mixes verses with his letter, before evoking his project for a poetic collection Instantanés: "I have in my head more than one snapshot - cheerful perhaps or morose or like Images d'Épinal in a very small number of copies - with line sketches"... And he ends with a 4-stanza poem dedicated to the Coco parrot: "The parrot had light yellow wings
With beautiful changing reflections of acid blue green
To make Aunt Pauline grind her teeth"...
