Signed Letter and Holiday Cards

Signed invitation by the American pianist to the summer Music Festival at the South Vermont Arts Center, May 1979, probably sent to Italian-American painter Luigi Lucioni.  1 p.  Photocopied, with autograph signature, some decorative notation in red marker and mounted black-and-white photograph of the South Vermont Arts Center.  11 x 8.5 inches (28 x 21.6 cm).  Lower edge creased, else in fine condition.

Together with two printed, undated cards.  The first "Seasons Greetings" depicts List, his wife (violinist Carroll Glenn) and their two daughters gathered at a piano; the second, "Merry Christmas / Happy New Year" depicts the two daughters only.

During his military service in World War II, List established a relationship with political leaders.  He performed for Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin at the Potsdam Conference in 1945 and later had a series of appearances at the White House until 1980. (22328)
