THE ENCRYPTED LETTER

Of all uncommon items I have in my collection, this one is perhaps the 

most valuable from the standpoint of history.

According to the seller (anonymous), this letter was sent by PETER to JERRY

FORD,owner and partner with Eileen FORD of the FORD MODELS

in NEW YORK. The letter is dated 1983, in the middle of the period

on which ROSIE VELA was working for the Agency.

PM had a steady relationship for at least 9 years with ROSIE

to the point that even Eileen believes that she was the inspiration

for the small faces PETER always draws with the marker, and

perhaps also the BLOSSSOM and the BLUSHING BEAUTY's series.

PETER writes " Jerry, I found this", and designed a face

in the bottom left side of the letter.

This is the sample of one of the small Faces

drawn in my original 1972 photo.

Quote by Eileen FORD: “ Peter Max not only has an eye for beauty, he also has the
mastery to capture a beautiful lady’s profile in a minimalistic style that is 
reminiscent of Matisse and Picasso. Max’s profiles are as lovely as
most beautiful models.”
