MATISSE Henri; NAU John Antoine; HENRI MATISSE
Poesies Antillaises.
1972. MATISSE Henri. Poesies Antillaises. By John-Antoine Nau. 90 ff. Illustrated with 28 full-page portrait lithographs and a further 27 hors-texte ornaments by Matisse. Folio 383 x 292 mm loose as issued in the publisher's wrappers and cardboard slipcase. Paris: Mourlot 1972. Matisse conceived of this work as an homage to his close friend John-Antoine Nau and as he had done with Charles d'Orleans and Ronsard he personally selected the poems that moved him most. As Matisse and the poet shared a common love for Martinique Matisse worked from Martiniquan models as well as Malagashan models for the illustrations. Matisse prepared the illustrations for this book in 1946 and a contract to publish the edition was drawn up with Mourlot in 1947. Matisse worked on and off on the production maquette for Poesies Antillaises from 1950 to 1953. However due in large measure to the artist's ill health at the end of his life publication was delayed until almost twenty years after his death. One of 200 regular copies. A superb copy of this magnificent book which is similar in feel to Floril�ge published by Skira in 1948. Duthuit Henri Matisse Les Ouvrages Illustr�s No. 37. From Manet to Hockney No. 129. unknown

MATISSE Henri. JOYCE James.
Ulysses.
New York: The Limited Editions Club 1935. Matisse emerges from the fog Quarto. Original brown cloth title and decoration to spine front cover with design by Le Roy Appleton incorporating Matisse's illustration to the Nausicaa episode in gilt bas-relief circled by Roman numerals representing the 24 hours of Bloomsday brown speckled top edge others untrimmed. With 6 soft-ground etchings by Matisse and 20 reproductions of preliminary drawings on yellow and blue paper; printed in double columns; sidenotes and pagination printed in bisque. A near-fine copy a faint scratch and small white blemish to the front board but the binding square and firm the contents clean and etchings bright. First illustrated edition number 88 of 1500 copies signed by Matisse on the colophon. Within weeks of the lifting of the US ban on the book 6 December 1933 the Limited Editions Club impresario George Macy approached Joyce about a special edition of Ulysses and by February 1934 he was en route to Paris to speak to Matisse about illustration. The artist had not read the book and despite being sent a copy of the French translation by Joyce scholar Stuart Gilbert was according to the artist's neighbour Dorothy Bussy née Strachey sister of Lytton Strachey "in a complete fog about it" Goodwin p. 91. Bussy lent Matisse a copy of Gilbert's seminal James Joyce's Ulysses: a Study 1930 which she remarked "he will certainly find useful as a guide through the labyrinth" ibid. Matisse quickly accepted the commission saying that he had "spent the night reading the book and had discerned how the eight episodes in Joyce's Ulysses had their impulse in corresponding episodes in Homer's Odyssey. Macy accepted the suggestion and Matisse went to work" ibid. Matisse's etchings depict the Calypso Aeolus Cyclops Nausicaa Circe and Ithaca episodes. The text with an explanatory introduction by Stuart Gilbert is based on the second impression of the Odyssey Press edition 1933 which is "generally considered to be the most accurate and authoritative text" Slocum & Cahoon p. 30. In her study of Matisse and his relationship to literature Kathryn Brown places the Limited Editions Club Ulysses "at the intersection of four important relationships: artist and writer; visual art and literary criticism; innovation and tradition; France and the United States". Slocum & Cahoon A22; see also Kathryn Brown Matisse's Poets: Critical Performance in the Artist's Book Bloomsbury Academic 2017; William Goodwin "'A Very Pretty Picture M. Matisse But You Must Not Call It Joyce': The Making of the Limited Editions Club Ulysses" Joyce Studies Annual Vol. 10 Summer 1999 pp. 85-103. New York: The Limited Editions Club, hardcover

Matisse quickly accepted the commission saying that he had "spent the night reading the book and had discerned how the eight episodes in Joyce's Ulysses had their impulse in corresponding episodes in Homer's Odyssey. Macy accepted the suggestion and Matisse went to work" ibid. Matisse's etchings depict the Calypso Aeolus Cyclops Nausicaa Circe and Ithaca episodes. The text with an explanatory introduction by Stuart Gilbert is based on the second impression of the Odyssey Press edition 1933 which is "generally considered to be the most accurate and authoritative text" Slocum & Cahoon p. 30. In her study of Matisse and his relationship to literature Kathryn Brown places the Limited Editions Club Ulysses "at the intersection of four important relationships: artist and writer; visual art and literary criticism; innovation and tradition; France and the United States".

Matisse But You Must Not Call It Joyce': The Making of the Limited Editions Club Ulysses" Joyce Studies Annual Vol. 10 Summer 1999 pp. 85-103. New York: The Limited Editions Club, hardcover
