British painter (1922-2011) known for his psychologically intense, thickly impastoed portrait and figure paintings. Very rare ALS in pencil, one page, 8.5 x 8.25, no date, but circa January 1984. Letter to Angela Dyer, in full: "Lawrence Gowing sent me a copy of your letter to him. I don't know if he's had any letters about the book but I certainly have not. Though I am rather immune to abuse and praise I had a feeling of exitement [sic] on reading what you wrote that I've only felt on suddenly coming across someone I really like the look of. So, right in the middle of painting my mothers stomach this morning, I read it again." In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter from artist Lawrence Gowing, dated January 24, 1984, thanking Dyer for her "totally rewarding and transporting fan letter," and noting that he "sent it straight on to Lucian…You may have already heard from him." Also includes the original mailing envelope for the Gowing letter.
