About the Item
Synchromist Exhibition in Rome is the main content of this Autograph Letter Signed by Morgan Russell to the Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci Blunt.
Aigremont, August 30th 1935. In French. Two pages, single-sided. Excellent condition, including original envelope.
Perfectly readable.
Returned in France, the founder of the Synchromism, Morgan Russell, writes this letter to the Countess and Patron of arts A.L. Pecci Blunt, "pour savoir si vous avez une date fixée por l'exposition". In fact the American artist was organizing an exhibition under the patronage of the Countess and, at the same time, the Countess was opening her new gallery always attentive to new artistic mouvements, the Cometa Gallery in Rome.
Morgan Russell (New York, 1886 – Philadelphia, 1953)
The modern American artist, Morgan Russel, together with Stanton Macdonald-Wright, founded the Synchromism, a provocative abstract mouvement and style of painting (1912 -1920s). Russell's "synchromies," analogized color to music and were a American contribution to the rise of Modernism. A great traveller, Morgan Russel returned to Paris in 1909, where he studied at Matisse’s art school, attended Gertrude Stein's salon, and met Picasso and Rodin.
It was in Paris that Russell met Stanton Macdonald-Wright, a fellow expatriate, in 1911, and soon after the two began developing theories about the primacy of color in the creation of a meaningful work of art. They were particularly interested in the theories of their teacher, Canadian painter Percyval Tudor-Hart: colors could be orchestrated in the same harmonious way that a composer arranges notes in a symphony.
Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971)
Best-known as "Mimì" Pecci-Blunt , the Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was frequented by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel, and Aldo Palazzeschi!

Important Teddy Roosevelt Letter from White House June 1907
By Theodore Roosevelt
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting A Very Important Teddy Roosevelt Letter from White House June 1907.
On ‘The White House’ letterhead. Typed and personally signed and amended by President Theodore Roosevelt.
With it’s original White House envelope, stamp and postage marks.
Dated June 14th 1907.
What makes this letter so important is the author, the office and the content.
It refers to the beliefs and opinions of the then President and First Lady (Edith) towards the women’s sufferage and empowerment movement that was the ‘hot topic’ of the time.
It is addressed to Eliza Calvert Obenchain who was a well known author at the end of the 19th Century and Early 20th Century. In 1905, Teddy referred to her book “Aunt Jane of Kentucky’ in a speech and recommended that every man in America should read it to understand ‘the plight of their womenfolk’. He regularly corresponded with her and we have a number of those letters in our collection. It appears that both he and Edith became big fans of Mrs Obenchain who was also heavily involved in the Suffragist movement.
The letters also provide a fascinating and historic record of Roosevelt’s personal beliefs and feelings on female empowerment.
The Letter Reads:
The White House
Washington
Oyster Bay, N.Y.,
June 14, 1907
Personal
“Dear Mrs. Obenchain:
I gladly accept the autographed copy of “Aunt Jane” which you have been so kind to send me. But Aunt Jane is so good and so wise that she must not (amount “race (illegible)) fall into the terrible mistake of the self-indulgent, selfish, shortsighted women, cold in heart and in temper, who shirk the duties of mother-hood and then try to cover up to themselves and to others their cowardice or self-indulgence by making believe they are actuated by wise or lofty motives. *
With great regard, believe me,
Sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosevelt
*And she must not give aid and comfort to unsexed or sexless creatures by a jest which they may take for earnest !
Mrs. Eliza Calvert Obenchain,
Bowling Green, Kentucky.“
The envelope is From: The White House.
Addressed to: Mrs. Eliza Calvert Obenchain, Bowling Green, Kentucky and marked ‘Personal’.
