Eminent French artist (1869–1954), most closely associated with the Fauvist movement, best known for his colorful paintings, fluid drawings, and bold, distinctive cut-paper collages. ALS in French, signed “H. M.,” one page, 5.25 x 4, October 26, 1944. Letter to a friend. In full (translated): “I have let your friend from Grasse know I was able to find a seat in a car for Paris. She had informed me of her great desire to go there. She had a seat in a friend’s car for Cannes Monday morning. I let her know several days in advance and she had not replied by Sunday evening. I suppose when my note arrived she found an opportunity to leave and was not home any more. She may be in Paris. I know your worries, I wish you great patience.” Matisse has addressed the reverse, signing “H. Matisse,” in the return address panel. Light brushing to initials, a few corner creases, and light show-through from postmark at top, otherwise fine condition.
