An Original Handwritten and Signed Letter from Bloomsbury artist Simon Bussy. Dated 1901 in the same year where he started to be involved with the Bloomsbury circle. Letter in French but discuses a meeting to come and see his pastel paintings in France. Albert Simon Aimé Bussy 1870 – 1954 was a French painter who married the English novelist Dorothy Bussy, née Strachey. He knew and painted many members of the Bloomsbury circle. In 1901 Bussy visited London, where he came into contact with members of some English artistic circles, especially the Bloomsbury Group, and where he met Dorothy Strachey, who became his wife in 1903. Shortly after the wedding Simon and Dorothy moved to Roquebrune Cap Martin, in the south of France, where they bought a small house that soon became a meeting point for both French and English artists, writers and intellectuals. In addition to Dorothy's brother, the historian Lytton Strachey, and his cousin, the painter Duncan Grant, others included Rudyard Kipling, André Gide, Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, Mark Gertler, Paul Valéry, Virginia Woolf, and Bernard Berenson. The painters Henri Matisse and Georges Rouault also visited. Size is 180x 115mm. Condition is good. Light folding crease and foxing.
