Henri Matisses "Themes and Variations" were reproduced by G. Duval and the preface of Aragon, printed by Fequet et Baudier.

About the Publication: Henri Matisse, Dessins, Themes et Variations (Drawings, Themes and Variations), published by Martin Fabiani, Editeur, Paris, in 1943, stands among the artists most refined achievements in printmaking. Conceived and produced during the wartime years, the album represents Matisses meditation on line, rhythm, and beauty through a series of one hundred variations on recurring themes—figures, still lifes, and interiors. With each drawing, Matisse pursued a synthesis of observation and invention, transforming simplicity into poetic expression. The lithographs were printed by Georges Duval under Matisses supervision, while the text and preface by poet Louis Aragon were printed by Fequet et Baudier. Completed on February 27, 1943, and issued in a total of CML examples, the album remains a landmark in the history of modern printmaking, embodying Matisses lifelong belief in purity, harmony, and the expressive power of line. About the Artist: Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was a French painter, sculptor, draughtsman, and printmaker whose revolutionary vision redefined modern art through his daring use of color, line, and form. Celebrated as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Matisse led the Fauvist movement and devoted his life to the pursuit of balance, beauty, and emotional expression in visual art. His early works burst with vibrant hues and liberated brushwork, while his later “cut-out” compositions achieved a poetic simplicity that transformed the relationship between color and space. Deeply influenced by the work of Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat, as well as by the rhythmic patterns of Islamic art, Byzantine mosaics, and Japanese prints, Matisse forged a new visual language that celebrated joy, movement, and serenity. He was part of an extraordinary generation of artists who shaped the evolution of modernism, maintaining lifelong dialogue and friendly rivalry with contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Andre Derain, Albert Marquet, and Raoul Dufy—peers who, like him, sought to expand the expressive potential of color and composition. Matisses influence extended across generations, inspiring modern and contemporary masters including Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, each of whom drew upon his fearless experimentation and refined visual harmony. His paintings, sculptures, and works on paper are held in the most prestigious museums in the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, and the Hermitage Museum, where his art continues to symbolize the essence of creativity and human emotion. The highest price ever paid for a Henri Matisse artwork is approximately 80.8 million USD, achieved in 2018 at Christies New York for Odalisque couchee aux magnolias (1923).
