This handwritten letter from Fernand Léger, an illustrious representative of cubism, like Pablo Picasso or Georges Braque, draws attention to Brazil: we discover that Fernand Léger regularly visited Brazilian artists such as Scliar or Burle Marx, who settled in Paris in 1947. Experiments, introductions by friends or contacts, exchanges or purchases of paintings, the reasons for meetings for painters in the French capital were always multiple.
