伟大的画家亨利·马蒂斯同时也是一位卓越的书籍插画家。作为野兽派的先驱成员、至高无上的色彩大师、非凡的绘图能手和富有创造力的天才——这是即便对现代艺术仅有浅薄兴趣的人也熟知并景仰的马蒂斯形象。

但很少有人知道，马蒂斯还是一位亲自设计与绘制插图的艺术家。从1912年至1954年逝世期间，他参与了近五十项插图创作项目，其中许多作品堪称二十世纪最杰出的艺术家书籍典范。作为精通多种媒介的版画大师，他始终确保每幅版画都能与印刷页面完美相得益彰。他直接参与版面设计、字体排印、字符绘制、装饰纹样、封面设计乃至文本遴选，比同级别声望的艺术大师更深谙视觉传达原理，更洞察凸版印刷的潜在表现力。

《炽热的线条》一书详实记载了马蒂斯参与插图的近五十本出版物历程，其中包含马拉美《诗集》、《葡萄牙情书》与《爵士》等里程碑式作品。这是首部对其书籍创作实践进行全面深度分析的专著，也是英语世界对该主题的首次系统梳理。通过挖掘未公开信件与商业文件，本书首次揭示了马蒂斯在插图技法、排版理念、文学感知以及关于艺术家在出版流程中角色的坚定立场等方面的新见。

The great painter Henri Matisse was also a great book illustrator. A pioneering member of the Fauves, a supreme colorist, a remarkable draftsman, and a creative genius: this is the Matisse known and admired by everyone with even a passing interest in modem art.

But few know Matisse as an artist who designed and illustrated his own books. From 1912 until his death in 1954, he engaged in nearly fifty illustration projects, many of which rank among the greatest artists' books of the twentieth century. A master printmaker, equally adept in various mediums, he ensured that his prints would appear to the best advantage in conjunction with the printed page. He directly participated in page layout, typography, lettering, ornament, cover design, and even the choice of text. More than any others of his rank and stature, he knew the principles of visual communication and perceived the potential of letterpress printing.

Graphic Passion recounts the publication history of nearly fifty books illustrated by Matisse, including masterworks such as Mallarmé's Poésies, Lettres portugaises, and Jazz. It is the first comprehensive in-depth analysis of his book production ventures and the first systematic survey of this topic in English. Drawing on unpublished correspondence and business documents, it contains new information about his illustration methods, typographic precepts, literary sensibilities, and staunch opinions about the role of the artist in the publication process.
