Description:"Unlike Picasso or Rouault, Matisse never sustained a continuous interest in printmaking as such. His accomplishment as an etcher and lithographer was prodigious, but it was also limited to comparatively short intervals throughout his career...the etchings and drypoints on the following pages appear in their original size. The frontispiece is reproduced through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Zigrosser. Otherwise, all the prints have been selected from the collection of over one hundred of Matisse's etchings in the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Print Room of the Museum of Modern Art." --taken from William S.
