SIGNAC PAUL: (1863-1935) French Neo-Impressionist Painter. A very fine A.L.S.,
P Signac, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d., to a friend, in French. Signac asks his correspondent to forward his initial message to a lady showing the care taken on this matter, and states in part `
Je vous copie la réponse de lelong, communiquez-la à Blanche pour lui montrer qu´on s´est occupé de son ptotégé: "Votre lettre en main, dites à Blanche que les Comités Suresnois n´autorisent plus les patrons à pratiquer eux-mêmes l´embauche du personnel ouvrier - Les contre-maitres sont seuls qualifiés pour cela et il suffit qu´on leur recommande quelqu´un pour qu´ils l´évincent avant toute audition - Deux pays, comme dit Forain. L´an prochain les ouvriers éliront leurs patrons!!!"´ (Translation: "
I will copy you lelong's response, forward it to Blanche to show her that we have taken care of her ptotégé: "Your letter in hand, tell Blanche that the Suresnois Committees no longer authorize the bosses to choose the workers - The foremen are the only ones qualified for this and it is enough that someone is recommended to them for them to oust him before any hearing - Two countries, as Forain says. Next year the workers will elect their bosses!!!") Further Signac refers to his stay in Cannes, saying `
Je reviens de Cannes, où malgré de savants virages, je n´ai pu mener à la gloire le canot automobile d´un ami... un sacré clavetage ayant claqué au moment, ou par forte mer, nous étions en train de noyer nos concurrents...´ (Translation: "
I have just returned from Cannes, where despite clever turns, I was unable to lead a friend's motorboat to glory... a hell of a key having slammed at the time, where in rough seas, we were in the process of drowning our competitors...") VG
