Paper. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Two Original Handwritten Signed Letters/Envelope from Actress Ann Queensberry to Artist Anthony Rossiter's Wife Anneke. A letter thanking her for the paper knife gifts. Written 1963. From a large collection of the artists letters. Anthony Rossiter RWA MSIAD was a British landscape painter who was educated at Eton and studied painting at Chelsea Art School from 1947-51. He was a romantic visionary, a "poet" whose heaven was the Mendip Hills in Somerset. Gnarled hedgerows, tumbling stone walls, broken gates, reflections in water and ploughed fields were all his subject matter. His works also included portraits, most notably that of W.H. Auden. Anthony Rossiter began his correspondence with Huxley and Osmond while writing his autobiography, The Pendulum (Gollancz, 1966). From the ecstasy of the creative high to the agonising despair of depression, The Pendulum was the creative artist's riposte to the cult success of Doors of Perception (Chatto & Windus, 1954). Where Huxley induced heightened perception by carefully controlled experiments with mescaline, Rossiter's swings came naturally and without warning. Ann Queensberry was born in 1928 in Hampstead, London, England, UK. She is an actress, known for City of Ember (2008), Empire of the Sun (1987) and Mrs Henderson Presents (2005). She was previously married to Robert Bolt, David Harrington Angus Douglas, 12th Marquess of Queensberry and George Radford. All in good condition with light creasing. Ref18838. Signed by Author(s).…
