Minor foxing on title page otherwise pages are excellent. Color illustrated wraps in transparent plastic. ~ 20 pp. Many color illustrations. Includes invitation designed by Matisse small printing reproduced from a 1951 collage. "Matisse's wonderful discretion consists in making every effort made dissappear from his work to blur the tracks of its routing to erase all trace of the will to succeed so that the conclusion remains alone on the field of the painting light flower and spring water crystal. The work acquires a happy grace a racy finesse this spontaneity that gives us the essentials: the starting point of the artist his emotion. Matisse's art is at the antipodes of children's art whose spontaneity is only a natural raw material. He is also at the antipodes of the art of classical painters who by dint of subjecting their works to excessive and often conventional work lose most of what they have to tell us. Meeting the great primitives Matisse the extremely civilized regains their confident energy. His language rejuvenates the old words of painting which seeds brought back into virgin earths again manifest their presence." - translated from introduction. Berggruen & Cie paperback books

1940Best.-Nr. 510631Editions de la Revue Verve 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. FINE/NEAR FINE. First American Edition with tipped in 'Occupation of Paris' notice. Tall 4to 35.5cm. sewn binding in Henri Matisse-designed lighograph printed cover on black paper over cards often mistaken for the DJ itself with original brown kraft paper lithographed dust jacket. The dust jacket was often treated as a throwaway especially since it was taped over making it impossible to see the beautiful Matisse covers without tearing it; they are quite uncommonly seen. We have not attempted removing the dust jacket here though we have supplied a photograph from another copy showing the design. This is a unique opportunity to for a collector to have not only a copy of the book as issued with the jacket but a uniquely clean and fresh copy of the cover itself entombed within the protection of the jacket. The book itself is exceedingly clean and sharp. Illustrated throughout in color and black and white with contributions from Verve's usual suspects: Matisse Miro Picasso Rouault Braque and a spectacular center-fold lithograph by Pierre Bonnard. In spite of the statement in the 'Occupation notice that half the American edition was lost this is not a terribly scarce book -- perhaps because subscribers immediately recognized the significance of what it represented namely the destruction of the thriving modern art movement in France at the hands of the neo-classical obsessed Nazis. But the jacket and condition make this an uncommon survival. Editions de la Revue Verve hardcover
