As the art historian Marilyn McCully explains in her introductory essay, “the essence of line in a print, if achieved in the way Matisse wanted, could thus provide all the information that is needed: the presence and character of a model, the definition of spatial relations within a composition, including both interior and exterior views, and details of a particular setting”. This catalogue is divided into four sections including the themes of poetry, dance and music. Many of the prints were acquired, in part from the Matisse family collection, including the estate of the artist’s grandson, Pierre-Noel Matisse. With an essay by Marilyn McCully and a print chronology by McCully and Michael Raeburn.
