Catalogue Note
Cette carte postale issue de la correspondance de Constantin Brancusi présente le plâtre préparatoire du Buste d’enfant (1906) exposé au Salon de la société nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris au printemps 1907, elle est accompagnée d’un message personnel adressé à son ami écrivain de Budapest, George Bölöni (également mentionné Georges au recto du lot 30). Cette carte postale a la particularité d’être écrite à trois mains: ‘une petite française‘ non identifiée, une de ses deux muses hongroises, Ottilia Kozmutza dont le nom apparaît sur l'enveloppe du lot 30 (son autre muse étant Margit Pogany en référence au lot 28) ainsi que Brancusi lui-même.
