Autograph postcard signed by André Malraux, sent from Port-au-Prince to their friends Minka and Karl Hans Strauss, 15 lines in blue ballpoint pen.
The postcard reproduces the painting by Haitian artist Philomé Obin entitled: "Philomé Obin recevant quelques clients étrangers".
"Chers amis, je vous remercie du beau sac qui se promène avec moi sous les palmiers... Il fait beau, la peinture est passionnante et nous vous envoyons tous nos souhaits de bonne année."
After separating from his wife Madeleine in the late 1960s, André Malraux entered into a new relationship with the writer Louise de Vilmorin and moved in with her at the Château de Vilmorin in Verrières-le-Buisson. Following her passing on 26 December 1969, Malraux remained at the château with Louise’s niece, Sophie de Vilmorin, who became his final companion and cared for him until his death on 23 November 1976.
