In 1919 Knopf published a collection of Gibran’s art works as Twenty Drawings, with Alice Raphael’s essay as an introduction. The pictures are not his best work; the book did not draw much attention, and the one review was ambivalent. It is Gibran’s only book published in the West that has gone out of print.

Letter of Kahlil Gibran to Juliet Thompson, New York, December 17, 1919
______________
Dear Juliet, 
I was told just now that the Weirs have decided to keep the studio and that their daughter, also a painter, is to occupy it. I wish I could tell you how sorry I am about it. I was so happy in the thought of having you as a neighbour. In the meanwhile I shall be asking everybody about studios - we may be able to find something just as good. 
I know that you have much to say about Washington and I want to hear every word. I, too, have a great deal to tell you about the Near East. One thing I am certain of is this: the great war enhanced human consciousness but not human justice. 
And may God bless you always. 
Ever yours 
Kahlil

Mr. Gibran of New York, said, “ One of the most beautiful things in religion is the statement revealed by God: ‘I was a hidden Treasure and I created man that I might be known. ’ By drawing closer together we get nearer to God, richer in His knowledge. Those who think that the fighting spirit and success in arms alone make a first class peo­ple have yet much to learn. The uni­versal note of harmony is the music of the spheres.”­ (p. 60)
 
Convey my greeting to Dr. Guthrie and Kahlil Gibran and say: “In the future some Tablets will be sent that ye­ may translate them, and, having translated them, print them.” (p. 110)
