Choix de pages de Paul Leautaud. A collection of text of Leautaud curated by Andre Rouveyre, with introduction, full page illustrations, and bibliographic documents. Excellent study & bibliography. One of 50 copies (n. 24) on chiffon d'Arches paper, with one original lithograph by Matisse, depicting the portraits of Leautaud, signed and justified in pencil, printed in China paper. Matisse executed 5 portraits of Leautaud in charcoal and then 12 lithographs from which one serves as the frontispiece of the book. In very good condition, with some creases and slightly worn cover, especially at the spine.
