One of the original sets of 1200 lithograph copies of Matisse’s original, which was done in color pencil and crayon.  Slightly more than 100 pages and more than 50 original lithographs.  Signed by Matisse in pencil on the limitation page. This production is widely considered one of the most important illustrated books ever done.
She loved art, was a fairly accomplished artist herself, and was well-known in galleries on both coasts during the 1950s and 60s as she built her collection of art and art books. She was an independent woman of the world with tremendously diverse interests. Betty retired to Tucson and spent her last years here. The books highlighted in this catalogue are from her estate.
