MATISSE Henri [Le Cateau-Cambrésis, 1869 - Nice, 1954], French painter, draftsman and sculptor French Autograph letter signed addressed to Mr. Brame. Vence, le Rêve July 15, 1943. 2 pages in-8°. "The butagaz is an extraordinarily seductive thing but well - also one is not without concerns about the duration of its bottle. It seems to me that the bottle is getting lighter and that there is and that there is something that whispers when you shake it, like a clear stream. Also how can one not not use it when you only have pine cones to cook with, and only the hope of having charcoal clusters? When you come this way, don't you think you can bring a a new bottle? What would we do without Butagaz?
