Sainte-Hélène (Morbihan, Brittany), France, 1943. A marvelous signed autograph letter from Max Jacob (1876-1944) to his close friend and protégé Maurice Morel ("l'abbé Morel", 1908-1991). 2 pp (front and back of a leaf measuring 27 x 21 cm), about 400 words written neatly in ink. Jacob had encouraged Morel to paint in 1925, when the latter was only 17, and had organized his first exhibition. Morel became a successful painter.

Jacob had encouraged Morel to paint in 1925, when the latter was only 17, and had organized his first exhibition. Morel became a successful painter. In 1934 Morel was ordained a Roman Catholic priest. The present letter begins with a discussion of a manuscript Jacob is considering having published so that he can sell copies to tourists (we can assume he's joking.) He moves on to spiritual matters: "Je suis de votre avis sur le manque de respect envers Dieu, plus grand que le manque d'amour : c'est une preuve de crise de l'intelligence car pour respecter, il faut comprendre ou comprendre au moins qu'on ne comprend pas. Prenez garde en luttant contre le sentimentalisme de dessécher complètement… Read More
