Gino SEVERINI (1883-1966)
4 L.A.S., Paris March-June 1913, to a gallery owner; 6 pages in-4 with header printed in red Movimento Futurista diretto da F.T. Marinetti, and 1 page in-8, in French. About his paintings and exhibitions, including the Futurist exhibition in London (1913). March 24. Finishes his last two paintings and would be happy to show his correspondent his recent work in the studio; sends "the photograph of the painting of the dancers that you saw on the train. I will receive in the next few days the printed poster and the catalog which is almost ready. There will be 9 reproductions of paintings. I will send it to you as soon as possible. The poster has appeared in several illustrated magazines in London and I am asked for signed copies. Let us hope for the most favorable success..." He wishes to show her "a symphonic poem by our futuristic musician Balilla Pratella." 12 May. "In London I had a very serious press success; above my hope... The sale could go better. I am asked for retrospective things, so I have decided to send to London all that remains of my old paintings". He therefore wishes "to come and get the things I have at home without disturbing you too much! 19 May. He will only be able to reimburse the sum he owes him after the result of the Berlin Exhibition, which will undoubtedly be materially more satisfactory than the one in London". He wishes to recover his works and "for the last 100 frs, you will keep, not as a purchase, but as a simple formality, one of the things that you will like and that I will take back next month"... June 1, asking him to return the book of futuristic music that he had lent him: "I need it urgently."
