The 25 embossings of Henri Matisse's drawings also allow an appropriation of these works by the blind public: "If I close my eyes, I see the objects better than the open eyes" said Matisse

"When I execute my drawings, the path that my pencil makes on the sheet of paper is partly analogous to the gestures of a man who gropes his way in the darkness" - Henri Matisse

The foreword is by Louis Nucéra, the engravings are by Fabrice Barbaras, and the box contains an audio commentary (poems by Alain Lefeuvre), by Jacques Toja and Jacques Weber.
