Lot Essay

"I dream of a book on “the color of Matisse” which would contain all the new thoughts that you have expressed about color and be illustrated by large plates (of a much larger format than Verve), in the manner of Chromatic Symphony and Dance. It would be fascinating if you were to describe the entire possible development of color with the greatest freedom, because the colored collages can be reproduced absolutely faithfully. Does the idea interest you?” -Tériade to Matisse
