Recipient: Isaak Abramsky
Title: Copy of letter from Jacques Lipchitz to Isaak Abramsky
Date: 28 April 1937
Description: Lipchitz tells Abramsky that he did not plan to make his sculpture looking like an 'antique' or 'Renaissanse statue' and that's why the natural colour of the bronze is the best. He recommend a simple pedestal for it, of wood or black marble, with the height of 1m 10 or 1m 20. A postal receipt addressed to I. Abramsky in Moscow and dated 14 February 1937 was attached.
