72/2884 [Art]. Eyck, C. (1897-1983). Series of 14 autograph letters signed "Charles", to Danny Bolle ("Dany" or "Awawa"), all but one dated from 14 March to 26 June, 1946, pen and ink, together 43 lvs., 5 letters w. 7 incorporated drawings.

= Danny Bolle was the daughter of the Rotterdam publisher and bookdealer Bolle. She took over the business in 1933. It is unknown how she met Charles Eyck. The letters were mostly written during a short trip of Eyck to Stockholm and its surroundings. The letters show Eyck's affection for her, but it is doubtful if the feelings were mutual or of the same nature. At the time she was in a relationship with Jan Boex, a dear friend of Eyck. He describes details of his stay in Stockholm, i.a. an event at which ir. Vincent Willem van Gogh (nephew of the artist Vincent) showed works of his uncle and a visit to an exhibition of the painter Eric Halström: "Nu is de bescheiden vertellenden Eric een bombardeur van verf. Hij smijt met klonten 500 doeken vol en is er van zijn sprookjes-achtige bezinning, die soms de beheersching had van Indische miniaturen niets overgebleven (...) Voor mij zal de gewoonte wel geen besmettelijke ziekte worden, in dien zin, zooals ze Greshoff bedoelt, een levenshouding als gewoontegebaar, de ontluistering, waartegen alleen het afscheid, de verwijdering als geneesmiddel dient. Maar stel je eens voor, dat het verwijderen, het afscheid nemen, een gewoonte wordt, is dan, om ook eens een "droogstoppel-criterium" te gebruiken, het middel niet erger dan de kwaal??" [16 March]; "Dat zelfportret, een aardappel-neus-met een bril-onder-een-beren-mijt moet waarachtig een ijzige domper op je lentelijke siesta geweest zijn, in elk geval prijs ik mezelf, dat het de oorzaak is dat ik nu een brief van je in handen houd. Den eersten brief!! Waar ik nog maar drie dagen hier ben, twijfelde ik er aan of ik nog wel een klein seintje retour van jou mocht ontvangen [22 March]"; "Ik ben heelemaal niet bovenzinnelijk, integendeel, ik voel me soms met een dierlijk zinnelijkheid besmeurd, maar ook weet ik, dat ik mijn puberteitsjaren reeds lang gepasseerd ben, en mijn zelfbeheersching geen kwestie is van moreele kracht. Misschien spruit mijn afstandbewaren voort - dat mij het gevoel beheerscht in jouw nabijheid een "plebejer"te zijn, en dan alleen maar pleonastische uitdrukkingen en gemeenplaatsen weet te bezigen, die in jouw ondoorgrondelijk masker maar wat leedvermaak weten te spiegelen. Praten valt zoo moeilijk, mijn derde klas O.L.S. educatie was niet van dien aard om mijn oratisch talent te ontwikkelen, misschien ben ik daardoor zoo'n lafaard geworden en struisvogel politiek speel, en dan nog als ik wat te zeggen heb, wordt alles door mijn physiek isolement tot een oratio pro domo" [28 April].
