Description
Henri Matisse created 139 illustrated books between 1914 and 1954. Of all the artistic contributions Matisse made over those 36 years, “Poemes de Charles d’Orleans” was one of the most personal and involved. Matisse threw himself into the work of Charles d’Orleans, a French poet (1391-1465). It was Matisse himself who chose to illustrate the text. He fell for the love poems that d’Orleans wrote for his true love while imprisoned in the Tower of London.
