Lettres Portugaises.

19461733661946. 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

Profusely illus. 591 pp. 1 vols. 4to. Inscribed: "en hommage à monsieur Monroe Wheeler avec mes remerciements pour mon exposition au musée Modern dont il fut l'organisateur parfait H. Matisse 1er juillet 52" "In homage to Mr. Monroe Wheeler with my thanks for my show at the Museum of Modern Art which he organized perfectly" Henri Matisse-the second-most exhibited artist at the Museum after Pablo Picasso-was the subject of MoMA's first monographic exhibition in 1931. The 1951-52 exhibition was the largest Matisse exhibition to be assembled in the United States to date and covered his pivotal work of the 1930s and the mature cut outs of the 1940s. As Barr writes in one of the letters laid-in "I did not realize that the 1930-40's would prove so rich and important. Frankly I tended to look down on Matisse's paintings of those years. They have changed my mind -- and the length of my text. I also greatly underestimated the interest and importance of the illustrated books of the 1940's." Monroe Wheeler 1899-1988 was made Director of Publications in 1939 and became the Museum's first Director of Exhibitions the following year positions which he held until 1967. Wheeler interviewed Matisse in March 1950 and their conversation comprises "Questionnaire II" which was used as one of the primary sources of the text of this volume p. 529. Alfred Barr 1902-1981 the first historian of Modern Art and the author of this volume was the first Director of MoMA from 1929-1943 when he worked as advisory director with his successor Rene d'Harnoncourt. Laid-in to the volume is correspondence from Barr to Wheeler about the progress of the writing of the book and about its publication as well as ephemera related to the exhibition and collected in the years afterwards. Contents laid-in include: - TLS 1 p. on MoMA letterhead annotated April 21 1950 from Barr and written in preparation for the Matisse exhibit mentions his research and help or lack of help from his assistant Bill and suggests that Wheeler try to purchase a painting not accomplished until 1983 - TLS 2 pp. on MoMA letterhead with a few holograph notes at the end July 2 1951 with envelope from Barr and about the delay in finishing the Matisse book in time for the opening of the exhibition discussing the editorial insight of the publications manager Frances Pernas - 4 short ANS notes from Barr to Wheeler on printed Memorandum stationary of Barr - 1 ANS note from Rene D'Harnoncourt on printed Memrandom Stationary - Pierre Matisse calling card - Errata sheet for the book - Invitation to the Exhibition opening admitting two folded as issued - Invitation to the Exhibition opening official after party admitting two - Matisse obituary clipping from the NYT - Color postcard for Harmony in Red laid-in at page 345 with the black-and-white illustrations of this work - Color postcard of Still Life with Oysters 1940 tipped-in at p. 486 - Color postcard of Zulma - Color postcard of Vase of Anemones - Color card cut in half Ivy and Flowers docketed on verso - "Matisse Designed Uncancelled French Stamp" in MoMA envelope docketed as such - Invitation to the Donation Matisse on January 5 1963.

Cinquante Dessins par Henri Matisse

19202907Paris: The Author Matisse 1920. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION WITH SIGNED MATISSE ETCHING. A BEAUTIFUL COPY. Cinquante Dessins is â€œa book of drawings published at Matisseâ€™s expense with an introduction by Charles Vildrac. Vildrac explains Matisseâ€™s return to the figure as an attempt to redress the modernist gap opened between art and life. Since the figure was neglected by contemporary art concerned with the probing and reconstitution of the painting elements themselves Matisse is returning to the â€˜moral characterâ€™ of painting its human content. Like the older masters he again â€˜attunes his style to the style of the modelâ€™ and eschewing both the current archaizing and modishness he searches out with humility the grave character of the model by intelligent deduction and by imagination. Written in close collaboration with the painter this is an important statement on Matisseâ€™s Nice manner of the early 1920s.â€ Weiss 97. With 50 full-page plates of Matisseâ€™s drawings of women in addition to the frontispiece etching of Matisseâ€™s daughter â€œMlle. M.Mâ€ signed in ink by Matisse below the image.

Henri Matisse and Noted Collector Albert C. Barnes Together in Nice Send Joint Praise to the Editor of Barnes' Newly Released ""The Art of Henri-Matisse""

19331820424/01/1933. <blockquote>A rare glimpse into among the more important relationships between art collector and artist: Matisse and Barnes whose collection is at the Barnes Museum in Philadelphia Never before offered for sale; acquired from the recipient's heirs</blockquote><img class=""alignnone wp-image-28960 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204111102/image_6483441-1-e1698420746405-1600x787.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""787"" />Albert C. Barnes was an American chemist businessman art collector writer educator and the founder of the Barnes Foundation. Barnes made a fortune as the developer of the antiseptic Argyrol and subsequently amassed an impressive collection of more than 2000 pieces of rare art. His extensive holdings include many European and American impressionist masterpieces and early modern art including works by Cezanne Matisse Van Gogh and Picasso. His collection of 181 Renoir paintings continues to be the largest number of the artistâ€™s paintings gathered in one location.Barnes started the Barnes Foundation in 1922 as an educational institution with strict limits to its use and very specific rules about its operations. Barnes was known for his ambition and his artistic sensibility as well as his eccentricity.At the Foundation he insisted that the art be displayed in a unique way exhibiting the works by their formal and expressive similarities rather than using the traditional method of grouping items by the date they were created the place of origin the type of item or its medium.In 1931 Dr. Barnes began work on ""The Art of Henri-Matisse"" whom he regarded as â€œthe foremost painter of the day.â€ Barnes first met Matisse in 1930 when the artist asked to visit the Foundation during a trip to the United States. During his visit Dr. Barnes proposed that Matisse create a mural for the Main Gallery which later would become The Dance mural.Henry Hart first met Dr. Barnes in the early 1920s while Hart was employed as a journalist for the Philadelphia Record. The two developed a close friendship and maintained a personal relationship until Dr. Barnes's unexpected death. Henry Hart transitioned from journalism and became an editor at Scribner where he published ""The Art of Henri-Matisse."" The book was released on January 13 1933.In early January 1933 Hart sent Barnes an advanced copy of the book which he shared with Matisse. At the time Barnes was in Nice with Matisse. Both Matisse and Barnes replied to Hart.Autograph note of Matisse and Barnes on the verso of a scenic Nice postcard addressed to Hart at his Scribner's Office in New York City:""Nice January 1933. Thanks for the advance copy of our book. It's fine very attractive Matisse is delighted with its appearance especially the illustrations - but he will add his own comments herewith. A.C.B.""Matisse adds ""I congratulate you on your book. I find it well composed and the prints are excellent. Sincerely H. Matisseâ€.Dr. Barnes believed that art had the power to improve minds and transform lives. Over the course of his lifetime along with ""The Art of Henri-Matisse"" he wrote several books about his theories of art aesthetics.Albert C Barnes books inscribed to his close friend Henry Hart who later published his only biography ""Dr. Barnes of Merion an Appreciation"":""The Art of Henri Matisseâ€: To Henry Hart who with kindness and patience delivered this baby in the Scribner Maternity.
