About the Item

Autograph Letter Signed, on headed paper "61, Rue Caulaincourt", with initial and sentence "Chère Amie", painted in watercolours and decorated with tears, including an envelope with a stamp dated 24 August 1933. (21x27 cm). Perfect conditions. Marcoussis was a French-born Polish painter and engraver. His real name was Ludwik Kazimierz Władysław Markus, but once he transferred to Paris he changed his name under Apollinaire' suggestion, adopting the French pseudonym of "Marcoussis" inspired by a suburb of the city. His first paintings were essentially impressionist, but since 1910 he embraced the Cubist trend alongside Picasso, Braque and Juan Gris. His works were exhibited on various occasions both in Europe and the USA, and in the Section d'Or in 1912. This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 50 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork.
