Gaston CHAISSAC (1910-1964) L.A.S. to "dear sir." Vix... Lot 46

Gaston CHAISSAC (1910-1964) L.A.S. to "dear sir." Vix (Vendée), undated [circa 1962]. 3 pp. in-4 on squared school paper, in an anarchic writing. Interesting letter about his career and his art: "I baptized my men simply with modern rustic painting. The wiser Dubuffet spoke of art brut, the word made a fortune and I remained chocolate. In my poor situation, it would have been better if I had not been so conspicuous. "Today" brought me back on the carpet, I entered the Guillou gallery and the Argos of Nantes knocked on my door, but as ignorant of the psychology of my kind. I remain indifferent to write for or against modern art. And I feel rather disgraced to be in the inspired and their home. It came much too late and I am no longer at the same stage as if it had been published without delay. I'm not asking for incense, I'm asking for focus. I've been a fool, a ninny, an ass... not much of anything after all."
