Profusely illus. 591 pp. 1 vols. 4to. Inscribed: "en hommage à monsieur Monroe Wheeler avec mes remerciements pour mon exposition au musée Modern dont il fut l'organisateur parfait H. Matisse 1er juillet 52" "In homage to Mr. Monroe Wheeler with my thanks for my show at the Museum of Modern Art which he organized perfectly" Henri Matisse-the second-most exhibited artist at the Museum after Pablo Picasso-was the subject of MoMA's first monographic exhibition in 1931. The 1951-52 exhibition was the largest Matisse exhibition to be assembled in the United States to date and covered his pivotal work of the 1930s and the mature cut outs of the 1940s. As Barr writes in one of the letters laid-in "I did not realize that the 1930-40's would prove so rich and important. Frankly I tended to look down on Matisse's paintings of those years. They have changed my mind -- and the length of my text. I also greatly underestimated the interest and importance of the illustrated books of the 1940's." Monroe Wheeler 1899-1988 was made Director of Publications in 1939 and became the Museum's first Director of Exhibitions the following year positions which he held until 1967. Wheeler interviewed Matisse in March 1950 and their conversation comprises "Questionnaire II" which was used as one of the primary sources of the text of this volume p. 529. Alfred Barr 1902-1981 the first historian of Modern Art and the author of this volume was the first Director of MoMA from 1929-1943 when he worked as advisory director with his successor Rene d'Harnoncourt. Laid-in to the volume is correspondence from Barr to Wheeler about the progress of the writing of the book and about its publication as well as ephemera related to the exhibition and collected in the years afterwards. Contents laid-in include: - TLS 1 p. on MoMA letterhead annotated April 21 1950 from Barr and written in preparation for the Matisse exhibit mentions his research and help or lack of help from his assistant Bill and suggests that Wheeler try to purchase a painting not accomplished until 1983 - TLS 2 pp. on MoMA letterhead with a few holograph notes at the end July 2 1951 with envelope from Barr and about the delay in finishing the Matisse book in time for the opening of the exhibition discussing the editorial insight of the publications manager Frances Pernas - 4 short ANS notes from Barr to Wheeler on printed Memorandum stationary of Barr - 1 ANS note from Rene D'Harnoncourt on printed Memrandom Stationary - Pierre Matisse calling card - Errata sheet for the book - Invitation to the Exhibition opening admitting two folded as issued - Invitation to the Exhibition opening official after party admitting two - Matisse obituary clipping from the NYT - Color postcard for Harmony in Red laid-in at page 345 with the black-and-white illustrations of this work - Color postcard of Still Life with Oysters 1940 tipped-in at p. 486 - Color postcard of Zulma - Color postcard of Vase of Anemones - Color card cut in half Ivy and Flowers docketed on verso - "Matisse Designed Uncancelled French Stamp" in MoMA envelope docketed as such - Invitation to the Donation Matisse on January 5 1963.

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.

1946réf. 1733661946. MATISSE Henri. Lettres Portugaises. By Marianna Alcaforado. Illustrated with 15 full-page and 80 smaller lithographs by Matisse. 4to. loose as issued in the original publisher's illustrated wrappers and cardboard box. Paris: Teriade 1946. An immaculate copy of Matisse's first collaboration with Teriade. Unlike Jazz which he was working on at the same time this work showcases Matisse's brilliance as a draughtsman. The plethora of images and the use of purple ink combine to make this a particularly pleasing book. The author Mariana Alcoforado was a Portuguese nun who conducted a passionate clandestine affair with a French soldier documented in these letters. The letters articulate the arching trajectory of her love from passion to eventual heartbreak. Whether or not these letters were actually written by Marianna Alcaforado is still a subject for debate.
