Fontana, Lucio. Beautiful signed autograph letter,... Lot 758

Fontana, Lucio. Beautiful signed autograph letter, 2 pages in 4°, with autograph envelope stamped Jan. 4, 1935, addressed to 'Painter Galassi, Villa i Ronchi, Marina di Massa.' The artist actually writes to Galassi's wife rejoicing at the lady's idea of giving her husband one of his sculptures to put on the patio of their villa: 'Madam, don't worry about the price. I hold Galassi in high esteem and I am his friend. You don't have to worry in the least about what I can claim, count me in on the gift and send me what you think, I only take offense with the denigrator of my work and never toward those who hold me in esteem.'
