Title
Copy of letter from Jacques Lipchitz to unknown related to ‘Documents’ journal
Date
28 December 1928
Description
Lipchitz informs an unknown recipient related to 'Documents', that he opposes the intention to publish 'any other image' except those that were proposed by Carl Einstein and [Michel] Leiris. An image that the recipient wanted to include, as Lipchitz tells, 'does not have anything with this exhibition' [most likely the one that Einstein mentioned, that is 'Exposition de la sculpture moderne'). Lipchitz also points out that the title of this 'other image' is not 'Les amoureux' [Lovers] but 'Sculpture' or 'The Couple'.
