Recenzii

"[A] fresh, in-depth, lavishly illustrated study."

"These books-as-works-of-art are both a running commentary upon Matisse himself, the ever evolving, ever surprising image-maker, and an extraordinarily vivid series of critical responses to words that are often so rich and elusive in their meanings."

"A well-illustrated scholarly assessment of the books by artist Henri Matisse has long been overdue, but Lalaurie's achievement makes the wait worthwhile. . . . Clear writing and argumentation, solid research, close readings of Matisse's work, and elegant prose distinguish Lalaurie's analyses, and these qualities are reinforced by a commendable book design that gives priority to multipage spreads from the original illustrated books. Lalaurie offers a rediscovery of Matisse to confirm his status at the heart of modern art. . . . Highly recommended."

"Henri Matisse did not confine his art to the cut-out or the canvas. In fact, over a period of 18 years, he produced eight limited-edition books that demonstrate a deft understanding of the interplay between word and image. In this new volume, Louise Rogers Lalaurie considers the significance of these editions in relation to his wider practice, particularly the 'second life' of his paper cut-outs. Not only does it contain rarely seen images, but also a sensitive analysis of his relationships (as inscribed in these books) and his political affiliations during World War II."

"As befits the topic, the book is elegantly designed and produced, its format commensurate with that of the volumes it describes. Lalaurie walks the reader through each publication, practically page by page and image by image. . . . In books, as in any artistic medium, nothing can replace experiencing the real thing. But this extensive study, with its many reproductions and engaging commentary, offers a worthwhile late-period portrait of an artist who, as Aragon wrote in one of his many encomia, ‘used books to tell the story of his life’ and ‘renew[ed] the very concept of illustration’."

"This sumptuous publication brings together Matisse’s eight livres d’artiste with meticulous attention to feel and detail. . . . The sheer number of images reproduced in sequence and the contextual detail given is much appreciated too in a publication that ultimately brings us closer to Matisse and his books."

"[Lalaurie's] illuminating contextual and interpretative essays accompany reproductions of substantial portions of each book, including their texts. . . . Though the books contain many familiar images, their original contexts as part of larger series of images and texts is often forgotten. . . . Together they amount to a sustained and transformative study of writing and drawing, word and image, in which Matisse developed ideas that resonate throughout his work, finding joyous resolution in the large-scale creations of his final years. . . . [A] beautifully designed and produced volume."

“A welcome view onto this often underappreciated component of the French master’s oeuvre.”
