Settignano, Dec. 29. ’52 Dear Yashiro, Thank you for yours of the 21st. I await eagerly the return of the scroll, and your Japanese article on it, as well as your Roman lecture. Thank you for all you say about translating my Italian Painters. I shall forward what you tell me to Horovitz, the Phaidon publisher, and ask him to communicate with you directly. I am addressing you a booklet on the reliefs of the Arch of Constantine, in which I apply our methods of handling an art subject, empirically instead of ideologically. I hope now to take up the preparation of the new “Lorenzo Lotto.” Then I shall be free to try other things - ambitious projects that I have had in mind for many years. Shall I have the strength, shall I live long enough? Affectionately B.B. |
