About This Item
1945. MATISSE, Henri. De la Couleur. Illustrated with two original pochoirs by Matisse. Folio, bound in original illustrated wrappers over boards. Paris: Editions de la Revue Verve, 1945. A fine copy of one of the scarcest issues of the celebrated magazine Verve, which was published by Teriade, who also published Jazz. The issue is solely devoted to Matisse who designed the wrappers and also contributed two pochoirs, one for the title-page and the other the celebrated image of the Fall of Icarus. Most copies have been dismembered, and the pochoirs framed. Just the slightest wear at the head and foot of spine, otherwise immaculate. Claude Duthuit, Henri Matisse: Ouvrages Illustres 74.
