This is a very detailed correspondance (including 6 autograph letters signed by the artist, a autograph postcard signed by the artist and a typewritten letter by the editor) between the Swiss artist, Jean Pierre Guillermet and the Swiss graphic art editor and collector, Nesto Jacometti.
In the first letters J.P. Guillermet expresses his desire to travel around Switzerland and Germany to find new clients or someone interested in his print proofs, and after the burning desire to leave to the South America (aproject tthat will take place two years later). The graphic art editor, Nesto Jacometti will write him to obtain his biography, prints, and all the usuful things to promote his production. Through this correspondance we could understand the real relationship between the artist and the client, the artist and his buyer, the market demands, the organization of exhibition (like the expo of Lausanne) and at the end the miraculous encounters can change your life.....
"L'hazard fait les choses mieux que nous...cette personne extrêmement positive et humaine m'a fait espérer à nouveau l'espoir dans mon travail".
Jean-Pierre Guillermet (Porrentruy, Switzerland, 1921- San José 2017)
The Swiss artist, best-known as painter, wood-engraver, lithographer, he realized murals and tapestries. His artistic career grew up during the 1950s and was strongly influenced by Abstract Expressionism atmosphere. Lover of travels, he explores Mexico during the Sisties and makes contacts with Japan.
Nesto Jacometti (Locarno, 1898- 1973)
Nesto Jacometti is still today a fascinating figure of the Locano and International cultural scene of the last century. Collector and editor of graphic art, he was the promoter of two important editorial projects and adventures: the Guilde Internationale de la Gravure and L’Oeuvre Gravée.
Born in Locarno at the end of the 19th century, at the age of 30 he left Ticino to move to Paris and immerse himself in the bohemian atmosphere of Montparnasse. The war forces him to return to Switzerland, to Geneva, where he works in the journalistic field and he knows figures as Albert Skira and Pierre Cailler. With the latter one a collaboration born and resulted, in 1949, in a printing guild: an edition of etchings and lithographs destined for a wide circulation of the Paris School. During all his life, Jacometti collaborates and involves artists such as Rufino Tamayo and Jean Lurçat, Antoni Clavé, Zao Wou-Ki, Alfred Manessier, Gustave Singier and Zoran Music. In 1955 Jacometti engaged in the new publishing initiative, L'Oeuvre Gravée, calling new prestigious names on the Parisian art scene. Many artists owe their initiation to the art of engraving to him: Marino Marini, Massimo Campigli, Johnny Friedlaender, Corneille, Max Ernst.
