Description: "In 1926, French publisher Christian Zervos founded Cahiers d'Art, a journal on contemporary art that soon gained wide recognition in Europe. Originally conceived as a review of modern art, these "Art Notebooks" eventually expanded to include topics relating to architecture, poetry and literature as well." "In 1936, Zervos devoted Cahiers d'art 3-5 to the drawings of Henri Matisse. The collections was published in three editions that year and reprinted by Cahiers d'Art in 1992." "This facsimile edition, based on the 1936 original, includes each of Matisse's thirty-nine drawings. It also includes a preface by Christian Zervos and a poem by Tristan Tzara dedicated to Matisse."--BOOK JACKET.
