Léon Spilliaert, Young Man with red Scarf, 1908.

Still Life with Wild Strawberries, Adriaen Coorte, 1705, Mauritshuis Museum

This little still-life is a miracle of simplicity. On a stone tabletop, a few strawberries lie in front of a dark background. A stalk is hanging over the edge, and a white flower sticks up out of the fruit. The seeds of the red strawberries are indicated by dots of white paint. Little is known of Adriaen Coorte except that he probably lived in the city of Middelburg. He was unknown for a long time, until he was rediscovered in the second half of the twentieth century and his paintings became very popular.

Soupir, plate five from Poesies de Mallarmé, Henri Matisse, 1932, Art Institute of Chicago: Prints and Drawings

Matisse’s first livre d’artiste (artist’s book), Poems of Stéphane Mallarmé (Poésies de Stéphane Mallarmé) was the second publication produced by Albert Skira. The first was Pablo Picasso’s illustrations for Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Les Métamorphoses), published the year before. Both series use the simple power of the etched line to suggest volume and movement. In the case of Matisse, he avoided heavy shading so as not to detract from the ethereality of Mallarmé’s poetry. While inspired by the poems, Matisse’s prints stand alone as works of art and call upon some of his most iconic imagery: flowers, nudes, and portraits. Lt. Col. A. Peter Dewey Memorial Size: 317 × 245 mm (image); 332 × 252 mm (sheet, plate mark not visible) Medium: Etching in black on ivory laid Japanese vellum
