Pardon my non-french! You are all forgiven, you strange strangers who delight us with your torrents of tongue, your lexicons of legend, your diamonds of idiom. Let us relish the ripeness of your rhetoric, the wild, unheard-of wonders you weave, told in the tongue of Shakespeare, Goethe, Li Po, Dante, Cervantes, Khayyam, Sappho - or in the translations of Gide, Nerval, Judith Gauthier, Rivarol, Oudin, Toussaint, or Renée Vivien!

Autograph letter signed by Félix Fénéon to Gabriel Mourey, 18 lines in black ink, folds from mailing.
A key witness and actor of his time, the art critic and collector Félix Fénéon assists the writer Gabriel Mourey in his search for the correspondence between Paul Adam and Maurice Barrès:
"Le romancier et occultiste Paul Adam fut, comme vous savez, très lié à Maurice Barrès. (Candidats boulangistes dans deux circonscriptions lorraines contiguës, il firent fraternellement une campagne électorale et journalistique à laquelle leur amitié ne survécut guère.) Comment retrouver tous les papiers de Paul Adam, mort il y a une vingtaine d'années ? Mme Paul Adam vit-elle encore. - je n'en sais rien. Mais il est probable que vive une de ses soeurs, veuve depuis quelques trois ans de ce L. Cappiello auteur de tant d'affiches, - peintre elle aussi (et, de plus, fort sourde). Leur demeure était 8 rue Lechatelier, XVIIe. Par Mme L. Cappiello vous retrouverez peut-être des papiers barrésiens laissés par Paul Adam. Pour le cas où vous chercheriez dans cette direction, je note que que j'ai été en excellents termes avec toute la famille et que vous pouvez donc user de mon nom à votre gré."
A leading figure of the avant-garde, Fénéon possessed a singular gift for discovering major artists. A deliberately discreet and eccentric dandy, he devoted himself almost religiously to all that contributed to a new artistic sensibility. A staunch defender of the Neo-Impressionists Seurat and Signac, and a friend of Mallarmé, Camille Pissarro, Paul Adam, and Gustave Kahn, Fénéon was successively an anarchist and a communist, and directed a dozen small reviews. He published groundbreaking works such as Rimbaud’s Illuminations, André Gide’s Paludes, and James Joyce’s Dedalus. A prolific journalist, he wrote for numerous publications, often unsigned or under fanciful pseudonyms such as Gil de Bache, Porphyre Kalouguine, and even Thérèse or Louise.

A rare letter from Félix Fénéon discussing his contemporaries.

Also included is an autograph letter signed by Fanny Fénéon, wife of Félix Fénéon, dated 30 December 1941, written while her husband was ill and bedridden; 10 lines in black ink, with folds from mailing.
"Mon mari gravement malade est dans l'impossibilité de recevoir quelqu'un. Si la difficulté que vous désirez lui remettre peut se résoudre par lettre, veuillez lui dire ce dont il s'agit. Une réponse immédiate vous montrera que malgré ses 80 ans, il est tout à votre disposition. [...]"
