JOYCE (JAMES) AND HENRI MATISSE
Footnotes
A FINE COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO OF THE GREAT LITERARY AND ARTISTIC FIGURES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY - ONE OF ONLY 250 COPIES SIGNED BY JOYCE AS WELL AS MATISSE. The edition was designed by George Macy and 1500 copies were printed, each signed in pencil by Matisse and sold to members of the Limited Editions Club for $10. Of these 250 randomly numbered copies were also signed (in ink this time) by Joyce, and sold for $15. The six Matisse etchings, with their accompanying sketches, depict the Calypso, Aeolus, Cyclops, Nausicaa, Circe and Ithaca episodes, while the double column text is based on the second impression of the Odyssey Press edition.
Provenance: "Max Trell, NYC" (probably the screenwriter and author of children's stories, 1900-1996), signature on front free endpaper.
