DAMN I would have been so happy to see these items while I was in Paris. And the exhibition opened a mere two weeks after I left Europe. If I had known this exhibition was coming up, we could have gone to France a month later.
Maybe the exhibition will go on tour and come to the US? They had a Valadon show at the Barnes Foundation in 2021, but they didn't have these items in it.
I got a closeup of the letter from the video. But damn that Satie and his fancy calligraphy, it's very hard to read, especially at this angle.
