Paris: Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue Française, 1914. An immaculate copy of this legendary precursor of twentieth century avant-garde book design. Mallarme's poem first appeared in the May 1897 issue of the magazine Cosmopolis, and was not published in book form until 1914, long after Mallarme's death. The poem appeared in the magazine with the following preface: "Wishing to be as eclectic in literature as in politics and to justify itself against the reproach that it has been made of ignoring the new French poetic school, the editorial staff of Cosmopolis offers its readers a previously unpublished poem by Stéphane Mallarmé, the undisputed master of symbolist poetry in France. In this work of an entirely new character, the poet has tried to make music out of words. A… Read More

Folio, 415 x 315 mm, loose as issued in original decorated wrappers over boards. In a new linen cloth folding box. New York: Curt Valentin, 1946. A fine copy of one of Masson's most important books, with 2 signed proof plates printed before letters,(5 and 6), laid in. Bestaire was the first of Masson's comprehensive albums to be executed in original lithographs, and the first Masson work since Sacrifices (1936) to contain original Masson prints. "Masson's metaphor of the bestiality of humanity is a departure from his usual metaphysical view, and it stands as his unique and complete foray into personal social discourse" (Saphire). "In Masson's bestiary, man is the beast -- more sinister and savage than the rest of the animal world. The network of heavily inked black lines found in the… Read More

Description:
1932. MATISSE, Henri. Poésies de Stéphane Mallarmé. [2], 153, [8] pp. Illustrated by Henri Matisse with 29 etchings printed in black. Small folio, 330 mm. x 250 mm., bound in original printed wrappers, and housed in the original calf-backed chemise and slipcase. Lausanne: Albert Skira & Cie., 1932. A superb copy of this masterpiece of twentieth century book illustration. The Matisse etchings for Mallarmé's Poésies are renowned for their delicate and simple design. "At the beginning of the decade, the etchings he made to illustrate an edition of Mallarmé's poems had an almost neoclassical quality to their elegant, filament-like lines -- a quality fully appropriate to the mythological themes of antiquity that they introduced into Matisse's art of this period" (Elderfield, Henri Matisse: A Retrospective, p. 357). This is considered "Skira's most beautiful book" (Castleman); it represents one of the snowy peaks… Read More

Folio, 330 x 250 mm., loose as issued in the original wrappers and linen slipcase. Paris: Martin Fabiani, 1944. One of 200 copies on velin d'Arches filigrané paper, from a total edition of 250. Signed by Matisse on the justification page. Matisse's Pasiphaé is a thrilling work. All of the original linoleum plates were destroyed after the printing of this edition. As with almost all his books, Matisse was responsible for the brilliant design, which combined black, white and red colours to create one of the most appealing artist books of the twentieth century. "A contemporary retelling of the story of Pasiphaé and the Minoan bull was the impetus… Read More
