Jacques MONORY (1924-2018). 2 L.A.S., Cachan November 4 and 20, 1980, to art critic Alain Coulange; 1 page in-4 each with his ink stamp. He has read Pierre Bourgeade's texts and finds them "quite finely funny," but does not see what he could add to them. "On the other hand, I am more and more reluctant to "illustrate" except when there is a deep agreement, and in this case I avoid if possible litho engravings etc. This requires work. I cannot commit myself to that [...], it is a necessity for myself. Perhaps another time something closer to my own follies"... Attached is a l.a.s. from Ida Karskaya (1 p. in-8), 1958, a letter of greetings to friends on her return from London.
