Document content

Ernest Mancoba writes to Troels Andersen and explains his desire and intention for a larger exhibition of Sonja Ferlov Mancoba's sculptures, both in Denmark and abroad. He wants to know if there is already planning underway and wishes for an exhibition on a museum level, to ensure the recognition and dissemination of her art and aesthetics. He has also received Elza Miles' manuscript for the book Lifeline out of Africa, and asks Troels Andersen if he will take a look at it the next time they meet, either in Paris or in Denmark.

The manuscript he refers to is for the book Elza Miles, Lifeline out of Africa. The Art of Ernest Mancoba, Human & Rousseau 1994.
 
The letter bears witness to the fact that both Ernest and Wonga Mancoba worked to spread knowledge of Sonja Ferlov Mancoba's art and that the values she represented spiritually and artistically should be disseminated and communicated.
