Pablo Picasso - Autographed letter signed
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Spanish painter
Autograph letter signed to Inès Sassier. “La Californie” Cannes AM (Alpes Maritime) on January 9, 1961; 1 page in-4°.
Separated from Françoise Gilot since 1953, Pablo Picasso did not forget his duties as a father to his children Claude and Paloma: "My dear Inès, Here is the check to take to Monsieur de Sarriac. Best wishes to Gustave and Gérard and yours truly. Picasso"
Inès Sassier was Picasso's confidante. She entered his life around 1936 through Dora Maar, the painter's lover, who was then vacationing in Mougins with Paul Éluard and Man Ray. Inès worked with her sister at the Hôtel Vaste Horizon. She hired the two sisters as a housekeeper and cook. Little by little, Inès took on an increasingly important role in the painter's life, her charms not leaving him indifferent. Married and a mother of one, she moved into a small apartment in the painter's studio on Rue des Grands Augustins in Paris. She ran errands for him. From 1955 onward, Picasso settled permanently in the South of France, first in Vallauris, then in Cannes with Françoise Gilot, before moving to Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins with Jacqueline Roch. Inès would come down to see Picasso in the summer with Françoise Gilot's children, Claude and Paloma. He showed her his work, sometimes asked for her advice, and gave her his portrait for each of her birthdays. Their friendship was complete. In Paris, she oversaw the relocation of his studio. She remained in Picasso's service until 1970.
