A beautiful and important volume devoted to a fascinating side of Henri Matisse’s artistic practice: his graphic work.
Compiled by Margrit Hahnloser-Ingold, Matisse: The Graphic Work presents Matisse’s prints and works on paper, including his lithographs, etchings, and other graphic works. Rather than focusing primarily on his iconic paintings, this book offers a closer look at Matisse as a printmaker and draughtsman.
The volume features approximately 100 plates illustrating Matisse’s graphic oeuvre, accompanied by scholarly text and commentary. It is an especially valuable reference for collectors and admirers interested in Matisse’s line, printmaking, and works on paper.
Published by Rizzoli in New York in 1988, this is the English-language first edition of the work.
A wonderful addition to a collection of vintage Matisse monographs, modernist art books, or books devoted to twentieth-century printmaking.
