Renowned American artist (1891–1942), one of the principal figures of the Regionalist movement of the 1930s and 1940s, whose painting ‘American Gothic’ takes a place among the most recognizable icons in the history of American culture. TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, May 20, 1940. Apologetic letter to an admirer. In part: “I hope you will forgive my failure to reply to your letter…Shortly before my talk in Los Angeles, I was taken violently sick with a sinus attack induced by the flight by plane over the mountains from San Francisco. Only because I had given my talk a number of times before was I able to get through it at all…This week I am returning to Los Angeles to do some work there and would be glad to autograph your prints.” In fine condition, with staple holes to bottom edge, lightly trimmed edges, and a few creases.
