A wonderful vintage Matisse monograph devoted to one of the most intimate sides of his artistic practice: drawing.
Originally published in conjunction with the 1971 exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art, this edition was reissued by Hacker Art Books in 1982. The book presents drawings and watercolors spanning Matisse’s career, accompanied by an introduction and commentary by Victor I. Carlson.
Featuring 191 pages and 83 black-and-white plates, it offers a fascinating look at Matisse’s line, studies, sketches, and works on paper. A particularly beautiful book for anyone interested in Matisse beyond his iconic paintings — and a lovely addition to a vintage art book collection.
Condition: Very good vintage condition overall. • Hardcover with dust jacket
