Autograph documents by great artists of the 20th century, such as musicians or painters, are always of great interest to researchers and collectors. This handwritten letter by Fernand Léger, an illustrious representative of Cubism such as Pablo Picasso or Georges Braque, draws attention to Brazil: we discover that Fernand Léger regularly visited Brazilian artists such as Scliar or Burle Marx, installed in Paris in 1947. Experimentations, presentations from friends or contacts, exchange or purchase of canvases, the reasons for meetings for painters in the French capital have always been multiple.
