That first cover by Henri Matisse sang out from the other side of the street in a way that made us run across the road to look at it more closely.

Barthélemy directeur pour le compte de Fernand Mourlot et André Sauret. Les lithographies originales de Georges Braque et les reproductions ont été tirées sous la surveillance de l'artiste par Mourlot frères"--Colophon. "Le texte de Pierre Reverdy Une aventure méthodique est orné de vingt-six lithographies originales de Georges Braque qui a également exécuté la couverture & une lithographie en couleurs pour le frontispice de cet ouvrage." "In his essay on Braque Reverdy views as a unity the thirty-five years of the painter's activity. this poet had more than any other the background and aesthetic insight to elucidate the painter's aims and preoccupations. Braque without leaving the world of every man's experience has revealed new images new depths which utter like destiny truths which no one else could have brought to light." Renée Riese Hubert "Georges Braque & the French Poets." Books Abroad vol. 37 no. 4 1963 pp. 389-90. Reverdy writes "I assert that Georges Braque has undertaken and successfully carried out in his life and his experience as a painter a methodical adventure. For at the start and heading toward the future there was nothing but unknown." In Dora Vallier's catalogue raisonné of Braque's graphic works no. 49 she notes that although the project was initiated by Mourlot the book was actually published by Maeght. Fernand Mourlot books
