Miller, Henry (1891-1980). American author whose autobiographical novels exhibit an emotional and sexual candor that influenced the direction of mid-20th century fiction.
Autograph Letter Signed ("Henry Miller"). One page, quarto, Big Sur, August 3, 1960. On yellow paper. To Dorothy Goldberg. One horizontal and two vertical creases, minor creasing at top of page. Condition is good to very good.
Concerning the loan of several watercolors for an exhibit, this letter was likely written to Dorothy Goldberg, wife of Supreme Court Justice Arthur J. Golberg. Mrs. Goldberg was a major figure in the art world through most of the Sixties and Seventies. Don't forget that Miller was a talented painter as well as writer! His watercolors, with their deceptively simple forms, are really quite lovely.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
