These works were created by the artist using papers colored with gouache, cut with scissors, and glued. They are presented here alongside drawings executed at the same time or during the preceding period. Matisse designed the cover specifically for this volume. These lithographic plates were printed during 1954 under his supervision.
The printing of the color lithographs by Mourlot Frères and that of the photogravure reproductions and the typography by the master printers Draeger Frères was completed in Paris on July 28, 1958.
