& then if they think the person may find out, they'll get someone else to tell a story or turn out the house lights to pretend they're not home or take the phone off the hook - until the whole life is structured around alibis. yes, i'd have to say that those of us raised in society have all been psychologically sick in the true sense. divided in mind not by regard for other people's feelings as much as defense of our own personalities in fear of what others will think of us & worse, what we may think of ourselves\u0085..' in a postscript fromme further writes 'i meant to ask you for new cuss words. fungus sounds pretty bad. but fungus serves a purpose.' a letter of good association. vg"},"estimateMax":150,"lotNumber":"613","title":{"es":"fromme lynette: (1948-   ) american criminal, a member of the infamous manson family who was impri..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/18672/lot/119879/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":100,"soldPrice":180,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:07:50.903Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac100 -

(vence), n.d. (c.1950), in french. the typed manuscript, evidently prepared by a journalist following an interview with the artist, is entitled an hour with matisse, and provides details of matisse's work at the chapelle du rosaire de vence as it reaches its final stages of decoration, explaining that the eminent architect auguste perret has supervised the project, and that matisse's studio is currently a replica of the chapel's interior with a huge amount of drawings affixed to the walls, many in yellow, green and blue, representing the colours to be used in the stained glass, further describing the position of the altar, the white marble floor, and the black and white ceramic tiles which matisse is creating. the manuscript continues with several questions posed to matisse, which he responds to in his own hand, explaining that the square ceramic tiles are to be decorated in black and white in order to strike a balance with the colours of the stained glass, and expressing his view that the hardest challenge in building and decorating the chapel was to fill a relatively small space with the monumental and expressive concept that he wished to achieve. matisse also states that he has not felt the need to change his religious views in order to create the chapel, and that all of his life his work has been made with the religious feeling of the mystery of nature. finally, the artist remarks that he has not had time to consider future projects as the chapel has not yet been completed. the final third of the page was originally part of a separate sheet and is now neatly affixed to the base of the primary sheet. vg in 1941 matisse, living in the south of france, developed cancer and underwent surgery. during his long recovery he was assisted by a young nurse, monique bourgeois, who also served as a model for several of the artist's drawings and paintings. in 1943 bourgeois entered the dominican convent in vence and became sister jacques-marie. in due time matisse bought a house in vence and remained in touch with the young nun. she told him of the plans the dominicans had to build a chapel and sought matisse's help with the design of the building. matisse agreed and the project commenced in 1947. over the next four years the artist worked on the chapel, its architecture, stained glass windows, interior furnishings, murals, and the priests' vestments. the chapel features three sets of stained glass windows which matisse dedicated much of his time to. all three sets make use of just three colours: an intense yellow for the sun, an intense green for vegetation and cactus forms, and a vivid blue representing the mediterranean sea, the riviera and the madonna. for the walls matisse designed three murals to be made by painting white tiles with black paint and then firing the large sections of tile. although matisse had been baptised a catholic, he had not practised the religion for many years. the artist had never undertaken work of the kind before, and upon completion matisse himself declared the chapel to be his 'masterpiece'."},"estimateMax":3500,"lotNumber":"656","title":{"es":"matisse henri: (1869-1954) french artist. an important typed manuscript, with extensive manuscript a..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/18672/lot/119922/view","directSalePrice":2500,"soldPrice":3200,"lastUpdate":"2021-12-02T18:55:12.369Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac2,500 -

(santa ana, california), 13th january 1981, to professor patricia warrick. dick commences his letter 'another insight, an important one, and it is one that will seem very important to you, in view of your knowledge and interest regarding quantum mechanics. i not only experienced thinking matter (the two attributes of the one substance, mind and spatial extension) but i experienced this monistic reality as a single continuum. will durant says that rather crudely put, ''mind is substania perceived externally, from outside.'' normally, the only part of reality that we experience both ways is our own self; we experience ourself as a body occupying space, and as a mind within that body governing the body. now, i quoted spinoza in a previous letter as saying: ''it is mere folly or insanity to suppose that extended substance is made up of parts or bodies really distinct from each other'', which my encyclopedia (sic) of philosophy rightly says indicates that spinoza's view of the world amazingly collates with that of quantum mechanics. okay; i saw both attributes of world rather than just physical extension in space; i have discussed this; but the other aspect of this - - which is what i called valis - - was the multiplicity reverted (as i tend to say) into unity; plural objects and their causal processes became a single unified field or continuum\u0085and, i relaize, this continuum included me; so i was privy to the inward attribute of the not-me because it was no longer the not-me; since a single continuum existed, i had of necessity to be part of that continuum; otherwise there would have been no single continuum: by logic it had to include me. thus the me and the not-me were no longer divided', and continues to further explain 'this sense of unity, according to charles tart, is the underlying premise - - basis - - of the mystical experience; he analyzed many, many mystical experiences, drug-induced and not drug-induced, and it was his opinion that this sense of unity was the primary element that earned the term ''mystical experience'' for what he was being told about. well, we need not concern ourselves with mysticism, here, because philosophically we have spinoza and his conception of extension being everywhere at once, not divided into distinct discrete separate bodies, and we also have modern-day theoretical physics. moreover, when the ai voice recently commented to me on what i had seen that i have called valis, it said, ''a perturbation in the reality field''; i.e. the voice used the term ''field'', and this is another word for what spinoza is talking about and it is another word for ''single continuum''. so, as i am sure will please you, this use of spinoza's metaphysics to explain my perception of valis, the macrometasomakosmos, dovetails with quantum mechanics, with field-theory.' dick also recounts his personal experiences, 'that the mind-attribute of the reality field was available to me is indubitable, inasmuch as it transferred vast concepts to me, and, in addition, the information about little christopher's birth defect (until then unnoticed). but what struck me always as strange - - as if the whole experience were not strange! - - is that this mind acted through the interface of ordinary physical reality; but this is precisely why i claim that spinoza's monism with its twin attributes is the explanation! this was not a mind without a body, a mind without a brain; the physical world was its brain, and, in addition, its interface or transducer. it was so eerie; i was listening to a beatles' tune on the stereo, ''strawberry fields forever'', and all at once the lyrics became scrambled up and, so-to-speak enhanced and rearranged; and then the light struck me and blinded me, and through this transduction of what i saw (light) and what i heard (the lyrics of the beatles' tune) i thereby and thereupon knew all about christopher's birth defect, knew it completely and with absolute certitude, and went instantly to tell tessa about it. so there was no division between physical reality, normal reality, and this mind; the two could not be distinguished. this is why the key that opened up everything for me a few days ago was to realize that i had seen physical thoughts. and i suddenly perceived the implications of this, that valis' thoughts were physical and only physical, and that this had titanic significance for our understanding and interpreting of the universe, because it meant that - - as i say in valis, say without grasping the significance of what i am saying, but, merely, reporting what i saw - - what we call matter although this is correct insofar as it goes - - well, this matter is a language, it is information; yet somehow we are unable to discern it as information. not only do we not know what it says, we do not know that it says anything'. dick summarises his experiences and writes of their relationship to quantum mechanics and field theory, referring to brahmanism, taoism, wittgenstein and the first philosophers, the greek naturalists, 'this is the basis of man's attempt to understand the universe based on his own reason and his own experience and his own observations. there is no appeal to revelation, doctrine or dogma\u0085..i believe valis exists because i experienced valis, and starting with that experience i am trying to reason - - with the aid of the accumulated knowledge of the species - - what it was, this that i term ''valis''. the word ''valis'', after all, is only a description, a way by which i can refer to it handily; the term tells me very little. but i have to call it something.', also briefly discussing the 'odious' historical bigotry of christianity, before returning to valis and concluding his letter with an anecdote, 'my belief in valis, being based on experience, has passed through almost seven years of analysis and scrutiny and out of this there arises in me, based on the enormous exegesis that i have brought into existence, a conviction that ultimately i will be able to find a rational, rather than supernatural, explanation for march 1974. my experience was unusual and perplexing, but that does not make it ad hoc incomprehensible. it may have been incomprehensible to me at that time, but so were the results of the michelson-morley experiment. an inexplicable experience - - encounter - - with reality, that is, reality behaving inexplicably in affront to all known laws, is a challenge to the reasoning human, the human who is dignified by an innate curiosity; he wants to know what the hell caused it, what the hell happened. i remember one time when my cat sasha ran across the living room and got caught in the strap of tessa's mail pouch purse, whereupon sasha found herself swinging up into the air, suddenly airborne. a moment later she returned to the purse and, to my fascination, inserted her head gingerly within the loop of the strap once more, to see if her sudden flight from the ground would reoccur. ''bravo!'' i said to the cat then, that day; bravo for your curiosity. well, i know that you agree with me, patricia. in a way you and i are in this together; we both have inserted our respective heads in the strap-loop, and both of us seek to learn why it is that suddenly you can fly'. accompanied by the original envelope. a letter of outstanding content. about ex during february and march 1974, dick experienced a series of hallucinations which he referred to as '2-3-74'. valis (an acronym for vast active living intelligence system) is the title of a 1981 science fiction novel by dick, and is one of a three part series. set in california during the 1970s, the book features heavy auto-biographical elements and draws inspiration from the author's own investigations into his unexplained experiences over the previous decade."},"estimateMax":1500,"lotNumber":"808","title":{"es":"dick philip k.: (1928-1982) american writer of science fiction, considered a master of dystopian fic..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/18672/lot/120074/view","directSalePrice":1000,"soldPrice":1500,"lastUpdate":"2021-12-02T18:53:53Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac1,000 -

destroyed last night; & not much ammunition, and i have not been able to get on as i ought. i have however got a mine under one of the works, which i hope will enable me to carry the exterior line;

addressed to an ambassador. henri gatien bertrand (1773-1844) french general. count bertrand and grand marshal of the palace. bertrand was aide-de-camp to napoleon i and the closest officer to the emperor who had full confidence in him. he served during the expedition to egypt and the battles of austerlitz, wagram, leipzig and waterloo and accompanied napoleon i to elba in 1814 and to saint

napoleon´s remains to france; & charles tristan, marquis de montholon (1783-1853) french general during the napoleonic wars. he chose to go into exile on saint helena with napoleon i after the emperor´s second abdication. napoleon dictated to montholon the notes on his career, a trustworthy commentary on the events of the first part of his life. 1-to the first letter in the hand of montholon, he states in part `doctor antommarchi qui aura l´honneur de remettre cette letter à v.m. a soigné l´empereur v. auguste époux dans la maladie à laquelle il a succombé. dans les derniers moments l´empereur nous a chargé de faire connaitre a v.m. qu´il la priait de faire payer mr. antommarchi une pension de 6000 fr comme recompense de ses services a st. hélene´ (''doctor antommarchi

asking you to make pay to mr. antommarchi a pension of 6000 fr as a reward for his services to st. helene.'') further referring to another pension in favour of abbot vignali. 2-to the autograph letter signed by bertrand and also signed by montholon, they state in part `madame, chargés par l´empereur napoleon de l´execution de ses dernieres volontés. nous avons l´honneur de vous transmettre un extrait de ses dernieres dispositions. jusqu´à present nous n´avons pas pu en donner commission a votre majesté, parce que nous n´avions pas de moyen certain de lui faire parvenir une lettre. nous

the honour to send you an extract of his last provisions. so far we have not been able to give these letters to your majesty, because we did not have a secure way to do so. we are responsible for handing over to the prince your son when he will become adult various objects of the emperor.'') 3-to the third letter, bertrand explains few important matters to the empress, stating in part `d´apres le code civil des lois françaises, un pere ne peut disposer que de la moitié de ses biens lorsqu´en mourant il laisse un fils; mais ces lois qui régissent les particuliers, ne furent point applicables au souverain don't les domaines étaient gouvernés par des lois spéciales. ce n´est pas a la veuve et au fils de l´empereur napoleon qu´il est nécessaire de dire que pour avoir perdu son trone il n´était pas cependant devenu un simple particulier; il y a dans la pourpre et dans l´onction sainte et sacrée, des caractères qui ne s´éffacent jamais´ (''according to the civil code of french laws, a father can only dispose of half of his property when he dies and leaves a son; but these laws which govern individuals, were not applicable to the sovereign since the domains were governed by special laws. it is not to the widow and to the son of the emperor napoleon that it is necessary to say that for having lost his throne he had not, however, become a private individual; there are in the purple and in the holy and sacred unction, characters that never fade'') further pointing out the real situation and value of the legacy, stating in part `v.m. pensera sans doute comme feu l´empereur son époux qu´après avoir commandé à l´univers et dispose de tant de trésors, ce n´était pas un heritage de quelques millions, qui fut bien précieux pour son fils\u0085 supplier v.m. d´observer que la somme que feu l´empereur a légué excedent beaucoup celles qui se trouvent disponibles..´ (''y.m. will undoubtedly think like the late emperor your husband that after having commanded the universe and having obtained so many treasures, it was not an inheritance of a few million, which was very precious for his son\u0085 we beg you to observe that the sum that the late emperor bequeathed greatly exceeds what is available\u0085'') 4-to the fourth letter, bertrand kindly requests prince metternich´s help to deliver a letter to the empress and expects his support to facilitate the execution of napoleon´s will. 5-to the fifth letter, bertrand states `le plus illustre des captifs don't l´histoire puisse jamais faire mention, le genie immortel qui joignit a la gloire d´imposer silence a l´europe pendant un quart de siècle\u0085.. exprima dans les derniers jours de sa vie le désir que sa dépouille mortelle fut transportée dans un coin de la france; ses exécuteurs testamentaires avant de quitter londres addresserent au roi georges iv une requête a l´effet d´obtenir l´accomplissement de ces voeux de feu l´empereur napoleon\u0085´ (''the most illustrious of the captives that history can ever mention, the immortal genius who joined the glory of imposing silence on europe for a quarter of a century\u0085 expressed in the last days of his life the desire that his remains were taken to france; his will executors before leaving london addressed to king george iv a request for the fulfilment of these wishes of the late emperor napoleon...'') 6-to the sixth letter, bertrand reminds and claims his family rights on a duchy according to the emperor´s decisions, referring to the treaty of fontainebleau and to napoleon´s last will and codicil. 7-to the seventh and last letter bertrand also asks metternich to help and get the approval of the austrian emperor to help to execute napoleon´s will in full, not only regarding the empress but also referring to his own pension and
