This is an original lithograph by the French artist Henri Matisse (1869-1954), who is considered to be one of the key artists in the significant development of 20th century painting and sculpture. In 1941, Matisse had surgery for stomach cancer and the surgery permanently restricted his mobility. He could no longer paint, so he developed a new art form: paper cut-outs. He supervised lithographs of his cut-outs until his death in 1954.
In 1952, he created a series of studies on women's posture, which he reproduced from paintings he made in 1928. The series was four images called "Blue Nudes". This is Blue Nude III.
The image is 9" x 12 1/2". It is signed (in the plate), in black ink, lower right. It is set into a white mat and framed with a sand-colored wooden frame (expensively framed by DeSerres Montreal). Glass-fronted; the back is covered by a solid panel of fibreboard.
Note: These photos were taken in very yellow light. I tried to tone it down a little but, in doing so, washed out some of the… Leer más

This is a near-perfect copy of The Book of Tea: A Japanese Harmony of Art, Culture and the Simple Life, written in 1906 by the Japanese scholar Okakura Kakuzo (1863-1913). It is the earliest English-language account of Zen Buddhism and its relation to the arts. Okakura's view was that "tea is more than an idealization of the form of drinking; it is a religion of the art of life."
It was written in English and is a long essay, broken into chapters. This printing is a replica of the original, in that the heading of each chapter has an illustration with an ink drawing by the Japanese painter Sesshu (1420-1506) and the portrait of Okakura by Kanzan Shimomura (1873-1930).
133 pages on fine paper. 5" x 7 3/4". In slipcase. Includes the original publisher's wrapper.
The slipcase is a little worn. The front endpapers have indentations to the paper. But this book has not been read and is otherwise in perfect condition.

Cabinet Makers & Furniture Designers was the first in a series on great craftsmen, published by Spring Books. It was first published in 1969; this is the second edition, published in 1972. It is 50 absorbing studies of outstanding makers and designers of furniture, from the 16th century through the 1960s. I attach a photo of the contents. It is very useful for collectors and dealers, as well as for designers, decorators, art historians and craftsmen.9" x 12", 320 pages, packed with photographs.It weighs 3 1/2 lbs.It's now expensive to buy, and verging on rare. It's priced the way it is because it's a former library book; you can remove all of the fittings. It has been well leafed through, and the pages are darkening a little, but the inside is clean and clear.

This is an unread first edition of The Complete Paintings of Pablo Picasso, Blue and Rose Periods. It was written/compiled by art historians Denys Sutton and Paolo Lecaldano and published in 1968.Works covered are from Picasso's Blue Period (1901-1904) and Rose Period (1904-1906), when he was in his early 20s.The book consists of a minimal amount of introductory text, then 64 pages of color prints. That is followed by 37 pages of proper information, including a list of exhibitions, a concordance table and black and white thumbnails of every piece produced by Picasso in these years. Accompanying each image is bibliographic information, location, ownership history and, in some cases, prices paid.This book has spent its life lying on its side on a shelf. Until now, it was never opened. So it's pristine, although there may be a little yellowing to the edges of the pages.
