Henri Matisse. a Retrospective – Elderfield John

Description

Lavishly produced in oversize format, here is the complete illustrated catalogue of a landmark new exhibition devoted to the artist–the largest ever assembled–to be held at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, from September through January. Includes biographical notes, a chronology, and introductions to each major period of Matisse’s career. 320 color plates reproduce every painting and cutout in the exhibition; 92 black-and-white plates illustrate the sculptures, drawings, and prints; and 180 illustrations show related works not in the exhibition. Pages 488

Oversized soft cover, very heavy book could be in excess of 2.7kgs. Internally very clean and crisp pages. Cover boards bright. Binding tight. There are signs of fair wear and shelf wear to the cover, but still very pleasing.
