Anatole FRANCE (1844-1924). L.A.S., La Béchellerie... - Lot 19 - Ferri & Associés
Anatole FRANCE (1844-1924). L.A.S., La Béchellerie 22 July 1919, to his "dear colleague and friend" [Paul DESCHANEL, President of the Chamber of Deputies]; 2 pages and a half in-8. For a project for a monument to Antoine Bourdelle. "If I raise my thoughts to the heights where you sit, it is because I am naturally inclined to do so and that this time it is a question of the interests of art, which I know are as dear to you as to me. A sculptor already renowned and promised to the highest glory, BOURDELLE, who combines a powerful imagination with a profound science, is the author of a project for a monument to the Members of Parliament who died for their country, whose sculptural and architectural beauty you will, I am sure, admire. This project, which has been very carefully studied, has the merit of associating itself perfectly with the paintings of Delacroix, between which it proposes to take its place. It fills the niche for which it is intended. The movement of the figure is original and beautiful "... An L.A.S. by Gaston DOUMERGUE is attached to Anatole France, November 24, 1906.
