The livre d'artiste, or "artist's book," is among the most prized in rare book collections. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the greatest artists to work in this genre, and he created his most important during a period of intense personal and physical suffering. Brimming with powerful themes and imagery, these works are crucial to understanding Matisse's oeuvre. With deftness and sensitivity, Louise Rogers Lalaurie reintroduces us to Matisse by considering how in each volume, Matisse constructed an intriguing dialogue between word and image. Examining this page-by-page interplay, translating key sequences, and discussing the books' distinct themes and production histories, Lalaurie offers the thoughtful analysis these works deserve. Together Matisse's artist books reveal his deep engagement with questions of beauty and truth; his faith; his perspectives on aging, loss, and inspiration; and his relationship to his critics, the French art establishment, and the women in his life. In addition, Lalaurie illuminates Matisse's often misunderstood political affinities--though Matisse was vilified in his time for choosing to live in the collaborationist Vichy zone, his wartime books reveal a body of work that stands as a deeply personal statement of resistance. Lavishly illustrated, Matisse: The Books showcases a rich group of underappreciated works and brings unprecedented clarity to a controversial period in the artist's life.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great Buy
Color: Sage Green, Size: California King
Pros: correct color as shown, lightweight, breathable at night, great for sensitive skin, fits corners of bed
Cons: after 2-3 washes, even following wash instructions the sheet does get smaller making it harder to fit bed.
Overall 10/10, would recommend buying & I will buy in future.

Scratchy, not soft, smell really bad at first, don't look great.
Color: Good Vibes, Size: King
Out of the bag these smelled really toxic. I pulled some loose threads, of which there were many, and did a burn test. The stitching threads are synthetic. Then I pulled a fabric thread, this burned natural. After washing, the smell was gone. These fit the bed ok. They are, I dare say scratchy. I hope they soften with washes. They look old immediately after wash.

Perfect for my little hideaway
Color: Wesley Taupe, Size: Twin, Color: Wesley Taupe, Size: Twin
We converted an old small treehouse into a cozy nook for adults and kids alike. I ordered this sheet set for the twin mattress because the color and vibe match the decor.
They're lovely and did exactly what I wanted for the space. They're soft and a perfect thickness for the warmer months. It gets hot up there in summer.
The mattress is 5" memory foam, so these have a little extra "give" for my mattress and should fit a standard mattress just fine. Very cozy.
They're only printed on one side, which is common for most patterned sheets. They're soft out of the bag and breathable.
The fitted sheet has elastic all the way around, so they seem to stay on so far. Nice sheets!
