85 Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954)
[Woman With Beautiful Hair], 1948. Lithograph with letterpress
text, 22 x 19cm (image).
The
text includes "Plus que mes yeux j'aime tes beaux cheveux…
(More than my eyes, I love your beautiful hair)." Published
in Albert Skira, Florilége des Amours de Ronsard, Paris,
1948, limited to 320
copies. This publication was the culmination of a project suggested
by Matisse in 1941. Originally planned to contain 30 lithographs,
the first printing of the text did not suit the illustrations.
A second proof of text was made for the artist to use in making
the illustrations. However, the war delayed the meeting between
publisher and artist until 1946, by which time Matisse had expanded
his ideas so much that the text had to be reset in Paris a third
time. This printing, however, had to be scrapped as the paper
had yellowed and the Caslon type was now too worn to be used.
Skira found the original moulds, and a new font was cast. Matisse
changed the colour of the ink and settled finally on 126 lithographs.
The book was issued seven years after its conception. Unlike
his previous books, the text and illustrations are composed together
in the Ronsard.
