Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. Two Original Handwritten Signed Letters/Envelope from Artist Robert Medley to Artist Anthony Rossiter. A letter discussing their recent meeting and that two copies of his lecture are included. The second letter is thanking them for their Xmas card and about a forthcoming exhibition in Bond…St. Written 1970. 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. Charles Robert Owen Medley 1905 - 1994, also known as Robert Medley, was an English artist who painted in both abstract and figurative styles, and who also worked as theatre designer. He held several teaching positions in both London and Rome. All in good condition with light creasing. Ref18838. Signed by Author(s).
