Gorgeous coffee table art book: Henri Matisse Paper Cut-Outs, 1972.

A stunning, hard cover, art exhibition catalogue with beautiful full-colour reproductions of the French post-Impressionist modern painter's late work, which was increasingly abstract and a continuation of the artist's love of the pleasures of colour, form, and movement in art. A high quality analysis of these stunning works. By art historians and curators Jack Cowart, Jack Flam, Dominique Fourcade, and John Hallmark Neff. Published by the St. Louis Art Museum and the Detroit Institute of Arts, with Harry N. Abrams of New York. Still has the cellophane cover on the book, protecting the dust cover. In perfect condition, just showing slight signs of age because of publication date about 50 years ago (1972).
