Lot Description
RODIN, Auguste (1840-1917). Autograph letter signed ("Rodin"), in French, to Gustave Geffroy. Paris, 28 September 1911.
1 page, 8vo, on 77 Rue de Varenne stationery, with original holograph envelope, age toned with a few pale stains. Gustave Geffroy met Rodin in 1883, shortly after he wrote a highly complementary article about the sculptor; it was the beginning of a long friendship between the two. Geffroy wrote a biography about Monet, and promoted the works of Czanne and Rodin. Rodin sculpted a bronze bust of Geffroy in 1905.
