Henri Matisse - Couverture I Revue Verve. Vol. IV no. 13 (1945)
We are excited to offer a rare, authentic lithographic cover by Henri Matisse from Revue Verve, Vol. IV no. 13 (1945). This piece showcases Matisse's mastery of color and form, capturing a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution.
Before Matisse's iconic use of gouache cut-outs in Jazz, he had already created complete cut-out compositions, many of which were lithographically reproduced as covers and title pages for art journals. One of the most notable publications was Revue Verve, where Matisse’s work, encouraged by his Greek friend and publisher Tériade (Efstratios Eleftheriades), first appeared. The 1945 issue featuring this lithograph showcases his signature style and remains a hallmark of his artistic journey.
Revue Verve was renowned for its collaborations with leading artists, and this particular edition, featuring Matisse’s work, stands as a key example of his innovative approach to art.
In excellent condition for its age, this authentic lithograph offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of art history. It's an exceptional addition for collectors and art lovers alike, representing Matisse's brilliance and artistic legacy.
