NASH (Paul, 1889-1946, Landscape Painter, Surrealist and War Artist)

Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Marjorie Phillips, thanking her for her cheque, he wishes he "had got in in front of Rembran[d]t but you might have regretted it! ... With regard to the dedication", he explains that signing a proof "for so & so indicates a gift" which he is anxious to keep separate "from prints purchased from the edition", he would prefer like a grocer to "throw in something as a 'make weight' at some future time, when you feel you can do with another print", to mark his appreciation "of your charming enthusiasm", 1 side 9" x 7", Oxenbridge Cottage, Iden, Sussex, no date but 1925 -

Paul Nash (like Cocteau) preferred to write round the margin, as here, rather than turn over the page. Oxenbridge Farm was the home of another war artist, Paul's friend Bertram George Buchanan.
