LINO, GAUGUIN & FARM KERZELLEC

To-day I started cutting a lino which shall be printed in different colours. So concentration is needed: printing, cutting and printing etc. again. It has to be finished in time because they also have to be sent to my friends in Russia and that takes some weeks. To-morrow Anne & I (second time) shall visit the exhibition in The Hermitage. I want to examine the painting of Gauguin Nave Nave Moe more closely to see if I can discover something Breton in it. The little painting of the farm (ferme) Kerzellec and the Breton dansers is almost finished. In that farm Meijer de Haan and Gauguin bought eggs for Marie-Henry. In August I made a sketch of the farm when I had my exhibition in the chapel Notre Dame de la Paix which is 5 minutes away from the family-hotel of Marie-Henry (now Maison Musée) where both men stayed.
