ANY book by Rosamond Bernier is a valuable addition to one's Art History Library, but especially this one on Matisse and Picasso. The "used" copy
I got was brand, spankin' new, and so cheap that I ordered another one,
and will give a copy to the local library. I may order more for holiday
giving; the price is ridiculous, the reproductions gorgeous, and the
writing, as always very personal, witty, and fabulous. i.e.: The taxi cab
driver taking her to Matisse for a first interview, said that he knew
where Matisse lived but he did not. They were an HOUR LATE and Matisse felt very furious.
He complained that he had yet to to paid for a previous magazine article
in VOGUE. She took out her new fountain pen and began to write a check
immediately, noticing that Matisse was staring intently at the instrument.
She noticed his fascination and handed the pen to him to further examine.
She then gave it to him as a gift. The interview went very well from
that moment on.
