About the Item

Autograph Letter Signed by the Romanian and French avant-garde poet and artist, Tristan Tzara (Moinești, 1896 – Paris 1963) to the Swissh editor Nesto Jacometti (Locarno 1898-1973). Paris, April 26th 1955. In French. One page, single-sided. In excellent conditions except for a light burnished paper at the margins and two little holes on the left margin. Signed "Tristan TZARA". A letter, rich of technical details concerning the artist or the editor's transferts, and required material "2 rouleaux", useful for the realization of the new Tzara's prints. In the same year of this letter, thus in 1955, the graphic art editor and collector Nesto Jacometti was engaging artists for his new editorial adventure, called "L'Oeuvre Gravée". Nesto Jacometti (Locarno, 1898- 1973) Nesto Jacometti is still today a fascinating figure of the Locano and International cultural scene of the last century. Collector and editor of graphic art, he was the promoter of two important editorial projects and adventures: the Guilde Internationale de la Gravure and L’Oeuvre Gravée Born in Locarno at the end of the 19th century, at the age of 30 he left Ticino to move to Paris and immerse himself in the bohemian atmosphere of Montparnasse. The war forces him to return to Switzerland, to Geneva, where he works in the journalistic field and he knows figures as Albert Skira and Pierre Cailler. With the latter one a collaboration born and resulted, in 1949, in a printing guild: an edition of etchings and lithographs destined for a wide circulation of the Paris School. During all his life, Jacometti collaborates and involves artists such as Rufino Tamayo and Jean Lurçat, Antoni Clavé, Zao Wou-Ki, Alfred Manessier, Gustave Singier and Zoran Music. He was awarded at the Venice Biennale in 1953, with the Critics' Grand Prix.In 1955 Jacometti engaged in the new publishing initiative, L'Oeuvre Gravée, calling new prestigious names on the Parisian art scene. Many artists owe their initiation to the art of engraving to him: Marino Marini, Massimo Campigli, Zao Wou-Ki, Johnny Friedlaender, Corneille, Max Ernst and Alberto Magnelli.
