American artist (1885–1965) best known for his semi-abstract portraits and landscapes incorporating flat planes of color. Autograph letter, one page, 8.5 x 11, December 19, 1935. Avery writes to his friend, Beth Newman, in part: “Guess you took me seriously when I said I’d have to make you my coast agent. Anyway it’s mighty fine of you to take such an interest in my work…Had hope to take you down to see Burlink a very fine artist and unusual personality. Do it next time. Am enclosing clipping of letter that was in last nights Sun from ‘The Mightiest Mind of Mankind,” adding the postscript, “Sent the pictures collect, hope it’s alright you can deduct from your payments.” Intersecting folds, light creasing, and a uniform shade of toning, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by original mailing envelope, addressed in Avery’s hand, with his return address, “Avery, 212 E 65, NYC,” in the top left corner.
