KOKOSCHKA Oskar (1886-1982). L.A.S. « OKokoschka », Villeneuve (Vaud) 15 février 1964, à Édouard RODITI à Paris ; 2 pages in-8 sur papier bleu à son en-tête et adresse ; enveloppe ; en anglais. Notice: Ils ont été très peinés d’apprendre la maladie de Roditi, et espèrent qu’après son opération il se remettra rapidement. Sa splendide jeunesse a dû certainement déjà l’aider à vaincre de mauvaises passes, et son travail y a gagné en intensité et en générosité envers le propre travail de Kokoschka. Les écrits de Roditi sur ses travaux l’ont beaucoup aidé lors d’une de ses nombreuses crises : « With your splendid youth you certainly must have fought successfully several nasty troubles and your work gained in intensity and generosity towards my own work (for example) because, what you wrote about it did stimulate me when I was passing through one of my many crises »… . Il le remercie pour sa gentillesse et le prie de leur rendre encore visite, notamment avec l’artiste américaine Dorothea BLUM, si elle vient en Suisse, qu’il serait ravi de conseiller si elle veut bien lui montrer son travail. Il annonce qu’il a dû abandonner son activité d’enseignant à son École du Regard : « Unfortunately I cannot continue my beloved School of Vision any longer, and I said last summer goodbye to them all […] 350 students from everywhere […] north and south, America and Europe, even some Frenchmen […]. It is a loss for me and the younger generation of artists because nobody can replace me »…
