White cloth with white glossy color-illustrated dustjackets contained in a red cloth slipcase. 2 Volumes. vi 356; iv 366 pp. "The reader will discover Matisse watercolorist draftsman ceramist and the architect-- and unquestionably one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century."--Amazon. A wonderful and exhaustive novel of Henri Matisse by Louis Aragon profusely illustrated throughout with art by Matisse. Translated from the original French by Jean Stewart. With 155 color illustrations and a vast profusion of black and white illustrations throughout several folding over 500 in all. From jacket: A huge fascinating look at Matisse and his creative process by Aragon one of France's foremost poets covering the twenty-seven years of their acquaintance. Profusely illustrated with photographs of the artist and his models paintings and drawings these 2 thick volumes are both a visual and literary treat. "It took Aragon close to twenty-seven years to put this book together. He assembled here all that he had ever written on Matisse adding to it elaborating on it providing his glosses letting memory do its creative work shaping his material into what it pleases him to call 'a novel' and allowing himself numerous digressions. In spite of his elliptical ways however the subject 'Matisse' is overwhelmingly present most obviously through the illustrations carefully keyed into the text following Aragon's layout instructions and admirably illuminating it but no less through Matisse's own words which Aragon records with scrupulous fidelity. What he has arrived at is a dialogue between writer and painter unique in writings on artists and art and uniquely revealing of the creative process." Harcourt Brace Jovanovich hardcover books

La Naissance de la Paix par Rene Descartes: ballet danse au chateau royal de Stockholm le jour de la naissance de Sa Majeste 1649. Paris: Bibliotheque Francaise pour les amis de l'auteur J. Dumoulin 1946. Copy #128 of 300 signed by Aragon. In addition this copy bears a full-page inscription Aragon. 4to. Original wrappers glassine. 34p. plus colophon. <br /><br />With an inscription which reveals the bibliographic history of the original translation: <br /><br />"Your father has requested that I write a poem on the dance for you. It is not possible because I am incapable but this book is on dance. It is a description of a ballet by Rene Descarte written in 1649 for the birthday of the Queen of Sweden. There must be a manuscript in Stockholm but I based my writing on a manuscript which existed before the war in the Bibliotheque Nationale which has since vanished. Here I have expanded the text with comments. For precious Sandra for when she is a big girl who will charm the world with her dancing. Signed Aragon 18 June 1977." <br /><br />When Rene Descartes was 54 he went to Stockholm at the invitation of Queen Christina. It is said that because Descartes refused to dance at a court ball Queen Christina charged him with writing the verses for a court ballet La Naissance de la Paix. The ballet was composed for performance on 8 December 1649 the 23rd birthday of the Queen. It celebrates the Peace of Westphalia at the end of the Thirty Years' war which was more or less won by Sweden. <br /><br />According to a recent study by Richard Watson "the evidence of Descartes' authorship is virtually nonexistent. Almost certainly the ballet was written by Helie Poirier a professional writer of French verse." <br /><br />References: Watson Richard A. Descartes's Ballet 2007. Dumoulin books
