PATRONATO DE LAS CUEVAS DE ALTAMIRA
SANTANDER (España)

Dear Gertrude & Sidney,

This isn't a very good reproduction, but it gives you an idea of what covers the ceiling of the cave. The pictures aren't at all abstract & that helps make them so good; combined with the rough texture of the ceiling's surface & those beautiful earth & blood colors. It's really 1/2 sculpture & 1/2 painting, & should get a show at Betty Parsons. Show this to Clem, because I want him to see what this card looks like. How are you? After a few days in Madrid again, I'm off to Mallorca, Barcelona and other parts Northeast. Natives are beginning to think I'm Spanish.
Much love, Helen.
