Brassaï: The Monograph
Boston MA: Little Brown and Company 2000. First United States Edition. Hardcover. As new in shrinkwrap. Black cloth with black and gold illustrated dust jacket . 319 pp. 14 color 294 bw plates. "Here are Brassai's iconic scenes of nocturnal Paris with its prostitutes and thugs its night workers cafes dance halls and theaters; here are the fog-shrouded streets monuments and bridges; and here is the literary and artistic elite of the Parisian avant-garde whom Brassai counted among his friends. Alongside these images and providing a deeper understanding of his working method are many previously unpublished contact prints and variations of familiar shots taken from a different angle differently framed or as part of a sequence that constitutes a veritable short story on film. Beyond these there are examples of Brassai's nude studies and magnifications of commonplace objects the engraved photographic plates that he called "transmutations" his drawings and sculpted pebbles the graffiti he found so fascinating - indeed everything to which he turned his imaginative mind throughout a long productive life." "With the close cooperation of Mme. Gilberte Brassai the artist's widow and with the support of Jean-Jacques Aillagon president of the Centre Pomidou and of Werner Spies director of the Musee National d'Art Moderne in Paris Alain Sayag and Annick Lionel-Marie have succeeded in producing the definitive summary of this important oeuvre. As an extra dimension the book includes penetrating excerpts from the writings of Brassai himself and of his friends and admirers Henry Miller Jacques Prevert and Roger Grenier; an interview with Gilberte Brassai and a biography compiled by her; and an extensive bibliography and list of exhibitions."--Jacket.

These striking works many of which have never been published before are adorned with fabric tools made of horn or stone jewels and eyes made from faience or shell. The works represent ancestral spirits who link the sculpture's commissioner with supernatural forces of the Babembe's animist religion. Here scholars analyze the aesthetic quality style and meaning of each fascinating sculpture." -FirstSearch. 5 Continents hardcover books

Matisse in the Barnes Foundation
Philadelphia PA: The Barnes Foundation 2015. Hardcover. As New in slipcase. Three volumes in Blue Orange and Green cloth all contained in a yellow cloth slipcase with printed imagery. Profusely illustrated. Contents as follows: Volume 1 : Foreword -- Matisse in the laboratory of Dr. Barnes : how and why Barnes collected Matisse / Claudine Grammont -- Ensembles -- Matisse's awakening / Yve-Alain Bois -- Henri Matisse according to Dr. Barnes / Karen K. Butler ; Volume 2 : Catalogue nos. 1-5 -- Le Bonheur de vivre : 'the work of a superb colorist' / Barbara A. Buckley and Jennifer Mass -- Catalogue nos. 6-49 ; Volume 3 : Catalogue nos. 50-51 -- The dance process -- Catalogue nos. 52-59 -- Notes -- Correspondence around the dance. Publisher states "Despite the reknown of the Matisse holdings at the Barnes Foundation these works have long remained uncatalogued and elusive to many given the Foundation's restrictions on loans and color photography. Generations of scholars have lamented the black-and-white slides of Le Bonheur de vivre that anticlimactically accompanied lectures on the riot of Fauvre color. Matisse in the Barnes Foundation . grew out research on the collection initiated in the 1990s . . Goals for the Matisse project included gathering comprehensive information on the works from external sources the tremendously rich and recently catalogued Barnes Foundation Archives and the insights of curators and conservators and creating for each work an internally consistent record in the Foundation's database part of which could eventually migrate to the Foundation's website"--Foreword pages 21-22. A landmark compendium - the first authoritative publication to cover in its entirety one of the most significant holdings of Matisse in the world. Here is a vibrant celebration - slipcased and beautifully produced - of the Barnes' extraordinary Matisse collection. Composed of fifty-nine works from every stage of the artist's career it is among the most important in the world. At its heart are Matisse's most historically significant paintings Le Bonheur de vivre also called The Joy of Life and The Dance the monumental mural that Albert C Barnes commissioned to fill the lunettes of the Foundation's main gallery transforming both the space and the artist's career. An essay by Yve-Alain Bois addresses the evolution of The Dance and its role in Matisse's career; Karen Butler looks at what Barnes thought of Matisse; and Claudine Grammont's considers how and why he collected his work. The artworks themselves sumptuously reproduced are the subjects of interpretive analyses that tell the stories of their acquisition and address their critical reception. The book includes major contributions by Barbara Buckley and Jennifer Mass on the artists technique and a report on the latest findings on the pigments used in Le Bonheur de vivre.
