Description
The sender writes by order of the President of Russian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Moscow, professor [Pyotr Semenovich] Kogan. He proposes to Lipchitz to participate in an exhibition held at the Russian Academy in Moscow, namely 'Exhibition of the French Contemporary Art'. The exhibition is patronised by M. Edouard Herriot, French Minister of Education and Arts, and M. Anatole Lunacharsky. The exhibition will be open from 1 May to 31 June 1928 at the Museum of Western Painting [now A. Pushkin's Fine Art Museum] and at the Tretyakov Gallery. If he agrees, Lipchitz should fill out the attached forms and send them to M. Pierre Vorms, Galerie Billiet. Four sculptures and two drawings are requested. There is a later note overwritten in pencil: 'Four sculptures sent: 'Sailor with guitar' [Marin a guitar], 'Still life bas-relief', 'Musical instruments' and 'Sailor and guitar' [Marin et guitar].
