Book Description
The drawings that Matisse produced in the mid-1930s were those he valued as amongst his very greatest achievements. And finely reproduced as they are here, they astonish, delight and seduce everyone who sees them by their verve, their audacity and their voluptuousness. Made in pen and ink, admitting of no correction, devoid of shading or hatching they are, as Matisse said of them, 'the most direct expression of my emotion'. These portraits and drawings of models reclining in and against profusely patterned textiles and ornamented backgrounds, are miracles of pure line, of fluid arabesques seemingly spontaneous and free, yet rationally controlled to embody the height of exoticism and sensuality. The naked and clothed models, mirrors, reflections of sprawling limbs and of the artist himself or his own hand drawing, spread in waves across the whiteness of the paper to beguile us and take our breath away at Matisse's sheer virtuosity in making a simple line evoke the complexities of space and form. There was no delay in recognizing these miracles of draughtsmanship as a sort of pinnacle of perfection and in 1936 Christian Zervos reproduced a selection of them in his journal Cahiers d'Art. This present volume is a near facsimile of that special edition.

Book Description
"In 1926, French publisher Christian Zervos founded Cahiers d'Art, a journal on contemporary art that soon gained wide recognition in Europe. Originally conceived as a review of modern art, these "Art Notebooks" eventually expanded to include topics relating to architecture, poetry and literature as well." "In 1936, Zervos devoted Cahiers d'art 3-5 to the drawings of Henri Matisse. The collections was published in three editions that year and reprinted by Cahiers d'Art in 1992." "This facsimile edition, based on the 1936 original, includes each of Matisse's thirty-nine drawings. It also includes a preface by Christian Zervos and a poem by Tristan Tzara dedicated to Matisse."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
MATISSE: DRAWING LIFE, and the exhibition it accompanies, explores Matisse's works, on and with paper, made throughout his long career. Featuring more than 300 drawings, prints, illustrated books and selected paintings and paper cut-outs by one of the twentieth century's greatest artists, it traces an arc from the artist's studies in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, through the intimacies of daily life in his studio sketched in pencil and pen, to the masterpieces made using line, light and colour in the decade before his death in 1954. This publication showcases the most comprehensive gathering of Matisse's graphic work from major international museums and private collections ever presented in an exhibition with new writing by Isabelle Monod-Fontaine, Celine Chicha-Castex and Emilie Ovaere-Corthay.

Book Description
"A world of intense colour comes to mind when we first think of the art of Henri Matisse. Yet, as this book so aptly proves, Matisse's genius also conquered the graphic world of black on white. Here, in 91 prints, we follow his excitement in exploring the various printmaking media, and his delight in pursuing a wide range of themes. This selection consists of works printed in black. It begins with Matisse's first print, a self-portrait carefully constructed of drypoint lines, executed between 1900 and 1903, and it ends with the bold, aquatinted "masks" of 1951-52". -Page 6.
