Description
Loose leaves are similar to the bound leaves catalogued before, by the size and the pattern. Most probably, they are from the same notebook.
The order is uncertain. There are three different parts: a long draft letter for five pages, one draft note for one page, five pages with time-table for days from 19th to 29th and several blank pages.
Lipchitz mentions several famous artists as personal acquaintances of Lipchitz, namely Paul Guillaume, [Diego] Rivera, [Vladimir Baranov-]Rossine, Oscar Meschaninoff and Maria Blanchard. An exhibition of Andre Derrain is called 'clearly "anti-cubist"' and Lipchitz adds 'I would not exchange the whole exhibition for an acquarelle of Picasso'.
Dated entries are a time-table with very brief notes, i.e. '1 1/2 [that is 1:30pm]-5 1/2 Rivera', or '9 1/2-10 3/4 Rotonde', 'at my place','at the studio','walking', or an enigmatic phrase: 'and at 6 3/4 he said "you are distracting me from work"'. The dates are without month and year, days only.
