Henri Matisse (1869-1954) considered his drawing to be a very intimate means of expression - the "purest" and "most direct." His method of execution varied from charcoal, pencil, crayon, etcher's burin, lithographic tusche, to paper cut. Frequently his composition was of the female form.
This small book reproduces drawings from late in the artist's career, when he created series of drawings in the great French tradition of the artist's book (livre de peintre), where original prints are combined with carefully selected texts. Included are illustrations from Jazz and other works.

Henri Matisse (1869-1954) considered his drawing to be a very intimate means of expression - the "purest" and "most direct". Frequently his compositions are romantic, sometimes erotic images of the female form, but he also drew flowers and animals, sometimes drawing with a pencil, sometimes with charcoal, crayon, etcher's burin or cut paper. This guide is a showcase for Matisse's drawings in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia. An introduction reveals his love of poetry, his interest in classical themes and passion for medieval manuscripts. The main section of the work is a catalogue of the drawings, with quotes from the poems they illustrate reproduced opposite the images.
