SOULAGES PIERRE: (1919-2022) French painter. A.L.S., Pierre, one page, 4to, Rue des Trois Portes, Paris, n.d., to Pierre and Annick [Beres], in French. Soulages writes to his correspondents just before leaving Paris for Rodez, providing them with the address of the Hotel Broussy, and advising them on routes, ‘La route la plus courte (30 km de moins) est la plus penible - mais la plus pittoresque et passe par Clermont F., Issiore, Saint-Flour, Espalion. La meilleure et las plus rapide passe par Brive, Figeac, Decazeville’ (Translation: ‘The shortest route (30 km less) is the most arduous – but the most picturesque and passes through Clermont F., Issiore, Saint-Flour, Espalion. The best and fastest route goes through Brive, Figeac, Decazeville’). The artist concludes by stating that he will be glad to see his correspondents soon. VG
Pierre Beres (1913-2008) Russian-born French bookseller, antiquarian book collector, publisher and art collector.
Rodez, the birthplace of Soulages, is a small city located in the south of France, in the heart of the triangle formed by Toulouse, Clermont-Ferrand and Montpelier. The Musee Soulages was opened in Rodez in May 2014.
