Description
A lovely first edition Skira monograph devoted to Henri Matisse and his revolutionary approach to color, form, and composition. Written by Jacques Lassaigne, the volume pairs an insightful biographical and critical study with 57 beautifully reproduced tipped-in color plates.
A particularly charming example of Skira’s mid-century art publishing, with the small format and elegant cloth binding that make The Taste of Our Time series so collectible.
Condition
The binding has split along the spine, separating the text block into two sections; however, all pages remain attached and complete. The book is otherwise in very good vintage condition, with the expected signs of age and gentle handling. Please see photos for a detailed view of the condition.
