The livre d'artiste, or "artist's book," is among the most prized in rare book collections. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the greatest artists to work in this genre, and he created his most important during a period of intense personal and physical suffering. Brimming with powerful themes and imagery, these works are crucial to understanding Matisse's oeuvre. With deftness and sensitivity, Louise Rogers Lalaurie reintroduces us to Matisse by considering how in each volume, Matisse constructed an intriguing dialogue between word and image. Examining this page-by-page interplay, translating key sequences, and discussing the books' distinct themes and production histories, Lalaurie offers the thoughtful analysis these works deserve. Together Matisse's artist books reveal his deep engagement with questions of beauty and truth; his faith; his perspectives on aging, loss, and inspiration; and his relationship to his critics, the French art establishment, and the women in his life. In addition, Lalaurie illuminates Matisse's often misunderstood political affinities--though Matisse was vilified in his time for choosing to live in the collaborationist Vichy zone, his wartime books reveal a body of work that stands as a deeply personal statement of resistance. Lavishly illustrated, Matisse: The Books showcases a rich group of underappreciated works and brings unprecedented clarity to a controversial period in the artist's life.Binding Type: Hardcover

Sturdy, high-quality components
Color: Vivid Orange1, Size: 16pcs
Well-made reamer and plug inserter, as well as the 10 plugs, and the accessories. Even the pouch is high quality. Included instructions are very clear -- just be sure not to insert the plug with too much force, or you'll put the entire plug thru the hole. It's so much easier for a simple in-situ scooter tire puncture repair, where removing the tire can be much more time-consuming than removing a car tire. Including the high-quality little water/soap solution mister is a thoughtful feature. I highly recommend.

The small set is convenient to carry.
Color: Vivid Orange1, Size: 16pcs
It works well and has a non-slip handle. Although there aren't many blades, it's enough for a family. The accessories are small but practical.

Good for Beginners
Color: Grey, Size: 16pcs
Super easy to understand and very usable for a first time user like me. I did have to ask my friend to help me, but it was a super simple task with the instructions and good quality.
Perks of working in construction lol, you get friends who know everything without needing instructions.
