Excerpt from ‘How I Made My Books’, a text by Henri Matisse published in ‘Anthology of Books Illustrated by Painters and Sculptors of the École de Paris’, Skira (1946), reproduced in this volume: “I would like to say a few words about linocut. [...] I have often thought that this very simple medium is comparable to that of the violin with its bow: a surface, a gouge – four taut strings and a tuft of horsehair. The gouge, like the bow, is directly linked to the engraver’s sensitivity.”
