After their meeting in 1924 or 1925, Mathurin Méheut would maintain a rich correspondence with Yvonne Jean-Haffen, his student and close friend.
These "ornate letters," as they liked to call them, were created and distributed during the thirty most intense years of their relationship. The Dinan artist kept more than 1,400 of them, which she bequeathed, along with her studio collection and her works, to the city of Dinan. Today, they are inseparable from the life and work of Mathurin Méheut. This book offers a small, but very rich and emblematic selection, opening the gaze to aspects of their shared artistic life.
