Pioneering Russian artist (1866–1944) who takes a place among the seminal figures in the development of abstract art. Scarce TLS in French, signed “Kandinsky,” one page on a 6 x 4 postcard, July 30, 1933. Letter to Andre de Ridder, requesting copies of the issue of ‘Selection’ devoted to his artwork. In part (translated): “I have not received the books. Would you be so kind to let me know when you send a copy on Holland directly to my address…And finally the ex 20. to Mr. Grohmann? I would be grateful…P.S. Please fix the address of Mr. Prof. Dr. Alois Schardt on the list I gave you, this is no longer Halle, but Berlin, National Gallery, where he is now Director.” A diagonal crease to the lower left, otherwise fine condition. Andre de Ridder was the editor of the Belgian periodical ‘Selection,’ which published a special issue on Kandinsky in July 1933. The “Mr. Grohmann” referenced is Will Grohmann, an important art critic and author of a book on Kandinsky who also contributed to the issue of ‘Selection.’ An exceedingly desirable letter directly concerning his work.
