Paper. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Two Original Handwritten Signed Letters/Envelope from Historian Huch Cecil to Artist Anthony Rossiter's Wife Anneke. Also includes a reply from Anneke Rossiter. The two letters from Hugh Cecil are rather late in being sent as the artist had died. The letters discuss the artist works. The letter from Anneke confirms this. Letters dated 2004. 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. Hugh Cecil 1941-2020 was an respected historian with an interest in the First World War. All in good condition with light creasing. Ref Ref18838. Signed by Author(s).…
