This handwritten letter from Fernand Léger, an illustrious representative of Cubism, like Pablo Picasso or Georges Braque, draws attention in relation to Brazil: we discovered that Fernand Léger regularly visited Brazilian artists such as Scliar or Burle Marx, installed in Paris in 1947. Experimentations, presentations from friends or contacts, exchanging or purchasing canvases, the reasons for meetings for painters in the French capital have always been multiple.
