1972réf. 1205621972. 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 Florilège published by Skira in 1948. Duthuit Henri Matisse Les Ouvrages Illustrés No. 37.

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. This is one of 20 hors commerce copies published in addition to the 270 copies signed by Matisse. Duthuit Matisse Livres Illustres 15. The Artist and the Book 199. unknown books

réf. 6089-1An Autograph Letter By Henri Matisse Mentioning Paul Signac And Other French Modernists HENRI MATISSE 1869-1954. Matisse was a celebrated French modernist artist. ALS. 1pg. August 30 1927. N.p. An autograph letter signed "H. Matisse" in French. Writing to artist Charles Thorndike 1875-1935 following what seems to have been an unfulfilling visit to Thorndike's home Matisse mentions several other Modernists. In translation the letter reads: "Dear Friend – My journey was good and hot which suited me and the change of location has changed my disposition – the cold has descended on my throat and bothers me much less than in Kermouster. I am quite upset to have been such a bad guest and very touched by all your care – I do not dare think while seeing this beautiful weather about all the pleasure that I could have been able to take prolonged walks and bathing as well as good humor which would have been less unpleasant for you – I would not know how to live well lying down – I am touched by your kindness. I have asked Mr. Joly to instruct you to give the friends I was to see Signac and Mr. Louis Talek or Pahadi my regrets and thanks to Dr. Brandes. I have fairly good news from Madame Matisse. While waiting for the pleasure of seeing you then I will be tough I hope please accept my best friendship. H. Matisse". Signac was Neo-Impressionist painter Paul Signac 1863-1935 while Joly was probably Post-Impressionist Jean Joly 1900-1952. The recipient Thorndike was an American-born artist who lived in Kermouster in the Brittany region of France. There he entertained several significant artists of the period. The letter is in very good condition. books
