1962030150UK 1962. First Edition . Paper. Good. 48mo - over 3 - 4" tall. A Typed and Signed Testimonial Letter from Twice Oscar Winning Playwright Robert Bolt with Regards to F Saxton Memorial Trust and Anthony Rossiter and a copy letter from Aldous Huxley Discussing LSD. The Aldous Huxley copy letter reads - thanking him for his letter and the opening pages of the pendulum book 'I hope you will soon complete this account of your experience; for I am sure it will contain much that the rest of us will find enlightening. My own experiments with mescaline LSD and psilocybin have helped me to understand many things in the fields of art religion and philosophy which before had seemed incomprehensible or had passed unnoticed. Some of these insights were set down in the sequel to The Doors of Perception - "Heaven & Hell". Others I have tried to set forth in the final chapter of my forthcoming utopian phantasy "Island". But there is so much more to be recorded and reflected upon and you I would think are one of the few people adequately equipped by talent and pendulum-temperament to do it.' suggesting it would be a good idea for Rossiter to contact his friend Dr Humphry Osmond 'who first gave me mescaline.' and giving his address. Also includes an envelope explaining the Huxley and Bolt letters in the hand of Anthony Rossiter. Dated 1962. From a large collection of the artists letters. Anthony Rossiter RWA MSIAD was a British landscape painter who was educated at Eton and studied painting at Chelsea Art School from 1947-51. He was a romantic visionary a "poet" whose heaven was the Mendip Hills in Somerset. Gnarled hedgerows tumbling stone walls broken gates reflections in water and ploughed 75fields were all his subject matter. His works also included portraits most notably that of W.H. Auden. Anthony Rossiter began his correspondence with Huxley and Osmond while writing his autobiography The Pendulum Gollancz 1966. From the ecstasy of the creative high to the agonising despair of depression The Pendulum was the creative artist's riposte to the cult success of Doors of Perception Chatto & Windus 1954. Where Huxley induced heightened perception by carefully controlled experiments with mescaline Rossiter's swings came naturally and without warning. Robert Oxton Bolt 1924 - 1995 was an English playwright and a two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter known for writing the screenplays for Lawrence of Arabia Doctor Zhivago and A Man for All Seasons the latter two of which won him the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
