Description of the artwork

Letter to Zizi Jeanmaire

"Ma Chère Zizi / la prochaine fois, faisons une revue ici. Nous n'aurons pas d'ennuis de plumes / les palmiers feront l'affaire / Je pense à vous de tout mon cœur et regrette de ne pas vous avoir embrassée avant mon départ. / Quel dommage que vous ne puissiez pas venir ici quelques temps. Vous adoreriez, mais vous devez être heureuse. La revue est un triomphe! A bientôt / Je vous embrasse très tendrement / Yves"
("My Dear Zizi / next time let's have a review here. We won't have any trouble with feathers / the palm trees will do / I think of you with all my heart and regret not having kissed you before I left / What a pity you can't come here for a while. You would love it, but you must be happy. The review is a triumph! See you soon / I kiss you very tenderly / Yves")
