Superb immersive letter in the art of toulouse-lautrec, then in full decoration of the inn of villiers-sur-morin the painter reveals his project that he put in place to go kiss louis anquetin and claude monet in normandy then develops his disillusionments and artistic consolations in a poetic tone. "My dear mother, I am in the bliss of a fresh country. After five days of strenuousness I took care of a decoration of the inn of villiers on morin. To the great pleasure of the owner of the establishment who pays me to drink all day. I'm flying from scale to scale and I'm very happy. Thank you on behalf of the attic for your charming hospitality.

We'll be around 25,26,27, approximately. The French mail always advances me, and his file is still on the way. I'll try to go to rivaulde, without leaving the attic.

Because here's our plan. At the end of next week we're going to Normandy to kiss. [Laughs] Anquetin and claude monet. We're going to bet again. [albert] attic comes back kissing the woman of her thoughts, (in this time I go to rivauld) [.

] My plan to work all summer and rest the winter completely failed. The weather, and my redhead [suzanne valadon] have pissed me off enough..I lighten myself by canoeing firm between the hillmills, which look like young lady's fuses.

I kiss you and ask you to do the same with good-mama [leonce taped with celeyran]. Although he has frequented since the cabarets and workshops the hill Montmartre, toulouse-lautrec stayed in the summer of 1886 with the attic couple (albert, himself painter, and lili), owners of an inn in Villiers-sur-morin. The couple invited their friends, ancestors of the farm of fernand cormon: louis anquetin, henri de toulouse-lautrec, émile bernard, vincent van gogh, and brought to the village their Parisian feasts - which earned to villiers-sur-morin the name of "valley of painters". As mentioned in the letter, toulouse-lautrec in fact alternates at this time the stays at anquetin à etrepagny (normandie) and attices à villiers-sur-morin. After having moved into the same house as that of toulouse-lautrec, suzanne valadon (pseudonyme de marie-clémentine valadon) became the model of the painter but also his mistress.

He will make her, among other things, the famous portrait entitled hangover. She accompanies him everywhere during her night getaways. This item is in the category "collections\letters, old papers\autographs\others".
