Joan Miro 1960 Handwritten Letter Signed

April 15, 1960, autograph letter signed "Miro" by celebrated Spanish Surrealist artist Joan Miro (1893-1983). Written in French on a single sheet of his personal stationery, bearing the printed heading "Son Abrines - Calamayor - Palma de Mallorca." The letter measures approximately 8.25" x 10.5". Writing to a gentleman, Miro mentions Andre Breton, the French writer and founder of the Surrealist movement, while explaining that he is unable to travel to Paris. He expresses regret over the circumstances and hopes to see the recipient again, perhaps the following year. The reference to Breton is particularly interesting given his central role in Surrealism and his longstanding association with Miro, whose work became an important part of the movement during the 1920s. Written in pale blue-green ink, with some toning to the paper. Double-matted and framed with a large portrait of the artist. Overall framed dimensions approximately 24" x 18". Estimate $400 - $600
