- Lot Description
The Jane Stanton Hitchcock CollectionMONET, CLAUDE Three-page autograph letter signed with envelope, written in Monet's characteristic violet ink to the art critic Gustave Geffroy. Giverny: 16 May, [1888, from envelope postmark]. 7 x 4 1/2 inches (18 x 11.5 cm); written on a folded sheet of laid paper, together with the accompanying envelope. Usual folds, short tear into the text on the second page, the signature page rather light-toned and faded. Offered with a two-sided frame previously containing the letter, with a portrait and a translation. A letter with exceptional content, written to Monet's friend and champion, the great art critic and journalist Gustave Geffroy. Monet writes indignantly of an exhibition mounted by "young Durand" (probably Joseph Durand-Ruel, who joined in the operation of the Durand-Ruel Gallery, together with his brothers, in about 1888, the date of this letter). A New York branch of the Gallery opened the same year. Monet states that Durand, in conjunction with Renoir, is promoting an exhibition of Monet's older work without authorization. He threatens to send a process server to have the works taken down, and worries that Rodin and Whistler have been told about the exhibition. The exhibition in question is likely the Exposition that ran for a month starting on May 25, with works by Boudin, Caillebotte, Lépine, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, and a few others. Monet was indeed not among that number. Renoir was a lifelong friend of Monet, though they had their differences over the years, and a substantial degree of friction existed between them in 1890, two years after the present episode. That estrangement ended the following year.No condition report?
