MAGRITTE, René (1898–1967). Autograph letter signed “René Magritte,” March 23, 1961, to his friend André BOSMANS; 1 page, in-8. Note: Regarding the first issue of the journal *Rhétorique*, edited by Bosmans [May 1961], in which Magritte published a text: “I have no desire to ‘discuss’ with this ‘eclectic’ journal that would like to offer its ‘opinion.’ That would be to admit that this opinion interests me, assuming that an opinion could even be given. To achieve the necessary simplicity, I suggest that you list your name in the table of contents of *Rhétorique* as that of the ‘editorial staff’: Editorial Staff: André Bosmans, 14 rue de la Station – Tilleuz [lez-Liège] – and to follow that with the note: Responsible Publisher: René Magritte, 17 rue des Mimosas, Brussels […].

I will immediately return to you a copy of the formal warning you are about to send me—and production can begin”…
