Pablo PICASSO (1881–1973). An autograph letter written in pencil on letterhead from the magazine *Les Soirées de Paris*, edited by Guillaume Apollinaire and Jean Cérusse. “Dear friend Eugenia, How the hours fly by. I had to leave; I had to go to a meeting with the owner of my house in Montrouge. If you can forgive me, I’ll write to you tonight or tomorrow so that we can see each other soon. Yours devotedly, Picasso.” At the top, a handwritten note in ink by another hand: “To Hugo Calletano Errazuriz, from Eugenia Hinojosa. Today, December 31, 1940, with love...” Dimensions: Provenance: Eugenia Errazuriz (1860–1951). *Les Soirées de Paris* was a major avant-garde literary and artistic journal founded in February 1912 by Guillaume Apollinaire alongside André Billy, René Dalize, André Salmon, and André Tudesq. It was published until August 1914, when its publication was interrupted by the outbreak of World War I. Jean Cérusse is officially listed as one of the editors of the publication, which was initially located at 278 Boulevard Raspail in Paris. He would play a key role in supporting and promoting avant-garde artists, particularly major figures of Cubism such as Pablo Picasso.
