François CHENG

Lettre autographe signée à propos d'un article que Georges Raillard entend écrire sur l'oeuvre de François Cheng

s.d. (circa Décembre 2000), 21x29,5cm, deux feuilles.


An autograph letter signed by François Cheng to his " dear and great friend" Georges Raillard, art critic and specialist and friend of the works of Joan Miro and Antoni Tapies.
Two folds inherent to the enveloping envelope attached .
In this letter, all traces of humility and deference to Georges Raillard : "It was a grace to meet you yesterday morning, I felt honored and moved by your intention to write an article on my albums", François Cheng him submits the possibility of writing an article embracing the entirety of his work rather than the initial desire to concentrate his analysis of art criticism on his calligraphy albums in order to better understand the pursuit and search for his art that feed Sino-French bicultural marriage and, more broadly, a universal humanism : "I wondered if I could not hope for you a more general article that would cover - or at least signal - also my creative works, namely , my novel ... my collections of poetry. Indeed, all my life is a quest that tends towards a form of symbiosis, which would take care of the best part of the 2 great cultures that I crossed. This as well on the level of the thought as on that of the literary and artistic tradition (way of the Zen and Orphic Way). "," I put my sensibility and my spirit nourished by the passion to probe the mystery of the universe of the living and the human adventure; which is the essence of my creative works. "
Beautiful letter, with the beautiful calligraphy, which enlightens us on the universe and the sources of inspiration of François Cheng and the construction of his work.
Envelope attached.
