Eric Gill's Dairy Entry 8th July 1930
“To Frau Nietzsche’s at 5.0 and drew her portrait till 7.00”
Fiona McCarthy “Eric Gill” 1989 Page 237
This was the summer of 1930, the year he went to stay at Weimar with Count Kessler. Here he met Maillol, by then an old, gnarled man of seventy. The re-encounter was amiable, but much hampered by the language problem. (Gill had not learned much French) In the course of the visit, Gill drew the portraits of Kessler, Maillol and Nietzsche’s sister Frau Forster-Nietzsche.
