"I pay particular attention to three things: the organization of my space, the balance of my painting, and the expression of my subject."
A very beautiful letter from Juan Gris to his dealer, mentioning his painting work.
"My dear friend, I didn't reply immediately to your very kind letter that accompanied the money because I was finishing a painting, and having stopped working late, I was too tired to write. The sign didn't bring me any work, and knowing that it pleased you and the doctor is reward enough for me. What you say about painting is very true. I think that way because when I work, I pay particular attention to three things: the organization of my space, the balance of my painting, and the expression of my subject. I think it's a bit imprudent to send such considerable sums of money by registered mail. If it were to get lost, the post office compensation is 25 francs. It should be sent by registered mail. That might cost two sous more for the stamp, and the post office compensates for the full value in case of loss. I hope that Mrs. Rosenberg and your children are still well." Please send my regards to Madame, and to you, my dear friend, my warmest regards. Juan Gris.
