Pablo Picasso – Signed autograph letter

Pablo Picasso (1881- 1973), Spanish painter

Autograph letter signed to Inès Sassier. "La Californie" (Cannes) on December 1, 1959; 1 page in-4° oblong. (21x27 cm)

Separated from Françoise Gilot since 1953, Pablo Picasso does not forget his duties as a father to his children Claude and Paloma: "My dear Inès, Here is the check for the children to be taken to Monsieur de Sarriac. Thank you. I kiss you all three. Your Picasso »

Inès Sassier was Picasso's confidante. She entered his life around 1936 through Dora Maar, the painter's lover, then on vacation in Mougins with Paul Eluard and Man Ray. Inès, worked with her sister at the Vaste Horizon hotel. She hired the two sisters as housekeeper and cook. Little by little, Inès took a growing place in the life of the painter, her charms not leaving him indifferent. Married and mother of a child, she moved into a small apartment in the painter's studio on rue des Grands Augustin in Paris. She was doing him small favors. From 1955, Picasso settled permanently in the south, first in Vallauris then in Cannes with Françoise Gilot, before Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins with Jacqueline Roch. Inès went down in the summer with the children of Françoise Gilot, Claude and Paloma to see Picasso. He showed her his work, sometimes asked her advice, offered her his portrait on each of her birthdays. The friendship was total. In Paris she took care of moving the studio. She remained in Picasso's service until 1970.
