'Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers' - Charles W.Eliot
Artist: Henri Matisse Author: Isabelle Monod-Fontain (intro.) Publisher: Musee Matisse Date: 1989 Condition: The softcover with embossed test and image after Matisse, some light handling and shelf-marking and light tanning to the spine. Internally a very clean and tidy copy, illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. Text in French
A rather wonderful catalogue of a 1989 exhibition at the Musee Matisse which focussed primarily on his wartime drawings of flowers and leaves. The artist's fabled line is much in evidence here, creating deceptively simple but beguiling still life images
