Lot 231
Miller, Henry. (1891-1980) American author and painter; his sexual candor in Tropic of Cancer (1934) and Tropic of Capricorn (1939) caused them to be banned in the U.S. for years. Autograph Letter Signed, one page, 11 x 8½ in. (Pacific Palisades, California), March 6, 1966. To an unidentified friend, about writing and painting. "…I always wanted to write, yes, but it took ages to get confidence that I could. I only began at 33! As for painting, I never had any talent for it. Suddenly one day I got the urge (in 1927) and began. I tell all about this in 'To Paint is to Love Again.' This month I will have a show of 50 water colors locally. Have done about 500 in last 3 years. No teaching, just constant effort. Only way to learn anything, I feel…."
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
Paul Richards Autographs, 1977.
