Jayantilal's Correspondence with The Mother

12 March 1936

Mother,

I am sending you some art books for your opinion. I want to know your opinion about Cezanne and Van Gogh because they are praised so much by modern critics, especially Cezanne. One very good English critic, Roger Fry, calls him a divine artist, meaning perfect in some of his works.

The pictures by Cezanne and Van Gogh in the books you have sent are very beautiful (especially those of Cezanne). I shall return the books in one or two days—I want to look at them carefully.
