Eugène Boudin Signed Autograph Letter. The Impressionists In Deauville. 1890
For many years, the autograph library has specialized in the sale of autograph letters and manuscripts. Autograph letter signed to the American painter friederic porter venison. "You will not find here any impressionist - fortunately. Superb boudin's letter inviting the American painter to join him in deauville, while disguising the impressionists.
Venison, I would have been very slow to respond to your kind letter, despite all the pleasure it has given me. I've had so much trouble for two weeks.
Displacements; then to fill up, a rheumatic cooling that took away all my energy and kept me in bed for several days. I wanted to write to you after the races, to inform you that you will find in deauville everything you can really want from home at the sweetest price. I would have done it without this attack, which I am fortunately restored to, but perhaps you have already changed your plans. Anyway, we'd be happy to see you share our loneliness.
I say solitude - relative - because apart from a modest colleague who sometimes makes us society, we do not know the people of the country and you will be welcome if you decide to come here for a few weeks. However, I dare not promise you a very favourable season. For the last two weeks time has become impossible.
Wind, rain, and even cold; we suffer all the miseries of time. Maybe that's a reason to hope for September better!
You will not find here any impressionist - fortunately. It's the oil job. We'll talk about all this if you come here, but don't worry about housing. It would even be possible for you to find, in case you would like, an owner who could take care of your cooking and cleaning. Life here is quite easy. I would fear only for you, the distance from the countryside. But after all the means of locomotion are very convenient (.) the countryside is very beautiful in the surroundings, if this landscape tempts you. We'll talk about the paintings you're talking about. At the moment I'm very late for my work. Alas, time passes so fast, so fast. Make sure the lady comes with our respects (.) If you decide to come and spend a few weeks here, write to us (.) We'll be looking for a nice house for Mrs.
The book teasing commentary, within the letter, on Impressionist artists is interesting. Indeed, if boudin exposed his work to the first impressionist exhibition of 1874, he never considered himself an integral part of the movement. The same was true for friederic porter venison (1846.1911). Although his work was often perceived as an impressionist, he did not identify himself with this artistic movement.
Vinton had visited france, italie, holland and angleterre, studying the work of artists from each country. On the journey of the venisons, boudin dedicated three paintings to the venison. Later, he bought a large group of boudin paintings offered for sale at the boston gallery chase.
We know a beach scene made by boudin in 1890 called trouville, a beach scene signed and signed "to Madame venon souvenir 1890 trouville".
