Amusing, whimsical correspondence from the painter."I received the volume and your dedication as a friend led astray by friendship made me blush... fortunately, you give me at the same time proof by 69 of my poor spiritual misery. If I were one of the ten O! Goncourt - we'd know! and I'd be in the book trenches instead of sitting in the rear like an ambush - while you proudly mount the assault as boldly as the triumphant dollar. My last erection I dedicate to myself - To the unknown zero! Fortunately, I have an excuse - salt is forbidden to me - both in conversation and on the tip of my cock"... - After the premiere of Lohengrin: "When you have money, you're intelligent - when you don't have money, you're intransigent. [...] I saw your portrait at La Biche - that three-way soviet is terrifying! You look like you're eating the children of Thyestes - and as always, I watch you eat, and I take the belt. Merrrdre!!!!"... - As the Jews are the only ones left at home in our churches, we can foresee that they will soon take over the cult hole as if it were Léon Blum's"... Etc.7 sheets of drawings and caricatures (pen or pencil) are enclosed: Oscar Wilde, Adolphe Retté, Dr. Festus, "Tarierikoff", pigs...
