RADIGUET (Raymond). Handwritten letter about the painter Juan Gris. Autograph letter signed by Raymond Radiguet. 2 pp. In 8 glued (in total : 18 x 17,5). Radiguet sells the qualities of the painter Juan Gris: Juan Gris paints like all painters, that is to say on canvas or cardboard or wood. Did I say that he did not differ from the others? There is always a certain professional secrecy, many people would like to know. Personally, I don't think that the emotion felt in front of a painting is due solely to the quality of the brushes or the colours. The result matters. There's a road that leads to it, and it's called aesthetics... ; Like all classics, Gris has a concern for proportions. I am talking about true proportions which are in the mind and not what the vulgar call them.
