Throughout his career, Henri Matisse used imagery as a means of engaging critically
with poetry and prose by a diverse range of authors. Kathryn Brown offers a groundbreaking
account of Matisse's position in the literary cross-currents of 20th-century France
and explores ways in which reading influenced the artist's work in a range of media.
This study argues that thelivre d'artistebecame the privileged means by which Matisse
enfolded literature into his own idiom and demonstrated the centrality of his aesthetic
to modernist debates about authorship and creativity. By tracing the compositional
and interpretive choices that Matisse made as a painter, print maker, and reader in
the field of book production, this study offers a new theoretical account of visual
art's capacity to function as a form of literary criticism and extends debates about
the gendering of 20th-century bibliophilia. Brown also demonstrates the importance
of Matisse's self-placement in relation to the French literary canon in the charged
political climate of the Second World War and its aftermath. Through a combination
of archival resources, art history, and literary criticism, this study offers a new
interpretation of Matisse's artist's books and will be of interest to art historians,
literary scholars, and researchers in book history and modernism
