Collotype, 1942
From the Suite Dessins, Themes et Variations
Signed in Plate
Edition of 950
Paper size: 25 × 33cm
£750 Framed
This extremely rare suite was issued in Paris in 1943 and very few sets seem to have survived. In the early 1940s, in war-torn Europe, the published Martin Fabriani offered Henri Matisse an extraordinary commission. Matisse was to choose a few of his favourite themes and make a series of drawings. In a letter to his daughter, Matisse commented on the project:

"For a year I made a very important effort, one of the most important in my life. I developed my drawing and with ease made surprising progress with freely expressed sensibility, a wide variety of sensations but a minimum of means. It was like a breakthrough."

The works were sensitively drawn with elegant unshaded line describing simplified forms of female figures and still lifes.
