Picasso or the Art of Correspondence A spectacular letter from the master to his friend Max executed in ten shades of oil pastel " Mon cher Max Encore des feuilles des contributions que je vous envoie. Je travaille Amitié à vous deux et bien à vous Picasso " Settled at "La Californie" in the hills above Cannes Picasso relied on the good offices of his secretary Jaume Sabartés to handle the bulk of his correspondence. Max Pellequer a close friend of the painter was nonetheless among the rare privileged few to receive letters written entirely by Picasso's own hand. Oil pastels in hand the painter deploys his nervous sweeping handwriting alternating between no fewer than ten colors—so many graphic nuances echoing and harmonizing with elegance across the surface of the sheet. A banker and discerning art collector Max Pellequer began assembling a considerable collection of modernist works in the 1920s. In 1920 he married Francine Level niece of the dealer and businessman André Level. It was through André Level that he first met Picasso in 1914 forging an enduring friendship. Pellequer became one of the artist's closest friends as well as his banker and financial advisor. Over more than thirty years he acquired from the master a remarkable collection of paintings and sculptures. Provenance: Max Pellequer's estate ; private collection
