Running Press, 2012. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover, 272 pages. MAD Magazine was an indispensable part of 'growing up' for 1950s/60s kids.

New Haven CT: Yale University Press, 2011. reprint. Softcover. Very Good/None. Softcover. Like new in publishers shrink wrap. The works that Henri Matisse (1869–1954) executed between late 1913 and 1917 are among his most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic.

Although they have typically been treated as unrelated to one another, as aberrations within the artist’s oeuvre, or as singular responses to Cubism or World War I, Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917 reveals the deep connections among them and their critical role in an ambitious, cohesive project that took the act of creation itself as its main focus.This book represents the first sustained examination of Matisse’s output from this important period, revealing fascinating information about his working method, experimental techniques, and compositional choices… Read More
