Keep your head above water - Prolonged immersion of nose and mouth can cause fatal asphyxia"" with attached press clipping ""direct with a virile gland."" envelope included. The writer informs his young Montpellier lover about his upcoming travels: ""Buttons. Je ne vous crois pas ! je suis ici pour 15 jours encore - puis Genève pour une semaine"" ""Buttons. I don't believe you! I'm here for another 15 days - then Geneva for a week"". After many years spent in Greece Egypt and Rhodes the traveling writer Lawrence Durrell was forced to flee Cyprus following popular uprisings that led the island to independence from the British Crown. Rich only with a shirt and a typewriter but crowned with the success of his novel Bitter Lemons of Cyprus he arrived in France in 1956 and settled in the Languedoc village of Sommières. In the ""Tartès house"" his grand residence surrounded by trees he wrote the second part of his work his monumental Avignon Quintet devoted himself to painting and received his illustrious friends including the couple Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin violinist Yehudi Menuhin London publisher Alan G. Thomas and his two daughters Penelope and Sappho. Among the olive trees and under the Mediterranean sun he met in the mid-1960s the young and sparkling ""Jany"" Janine Brun a woman from Montpellier in her thirties with devastating beauty who worked at the Antiquities department of the Sorbonne in Paris. She was nicknamed ""Buttons"" in memory of their first meeting where the young woman wore a dress covered with buttons. Henry Miller also fell under the charm of ""Buttons"" praising her beauty and eternal youth in exceptional letters that remain unpublished. The three companions spent memorable Parisian evenings of which we retain precious autograph traces through their epistolary exchanges. Recommended by Durrell she made numerous trips particularly to England from where she received extensive correspondence from the writer as well as original works of art signed with his artist pseudonym Oscar Epfs. unknown

1967757891967. Fine. s. d. ca 1967 15.70 x 10.80 cm une carte postale Handwritten signed postcard addressed to Juan Luis Buñuel s.dca 1967 15.7 x 10.8 cm a postcard Handwritten postcard signed by Alexander Calder addressed to Juan Luis Buñuel on the back of a reproduction of a painting by Georges de La Tour. Two small perforations in the left margin of the card as is usual in Juan Luis Buñuel's collection. ""La paix ! la paix ! la paix ! pour 1968 Vanvis - I don't understand why I'm always leaving messages and never getting an answer. I was sorry not to see you in Barcelone. It is a beautiful snow. Love to you and Carmen and children. Sandro"" In 1939 Luis Buñuel who had just received an offer to work in Hollywood decided with his wife and child to leave the chaotic situation in Europe to go and live the American Dream. The penniless Buñuels initially spent a few precarious months living in New York. Luis Buñuel found himself forced to ask Dalihis longstanding friend in exile along with Gala during these yearsto lend him some money. His request was refused in no uncertain terms putting an end to the two men's friendship. Thus it was Calder whom Luis had perhaps already met in Paris in the 1920s who put the whole family up in his Upper Side apartment. Juan Luis Buñuel the artist's godson sensed that his interest in sculpture began in this same period: When Dali told my father he would not lend him any money he contacted him Calder. He offered his house to us and we lived with his family for a time. I can only vaguely remember it but it was then that I started to become interested in sculpture and he encouraged me Anton Casto Juan Luis una entrevista. Despite the geographical distance that would come to separate them Alexander Calder would remain a friend of the Buñuel family. The relationship between the artist and the film-maker is however almost entirely absent from the biographies and this correspondence is a rare testimony to the profound connection between the sculptor and the Buñuel family. unknown
