MATISSE HENRI: (1869-1954) French Artist. Unusual and very attractive autograph short poem-canticle, with drawing, one page, oblong folio, n.p., n.d., in French. Matisse has drawn a first and large capital letter, coloured to the inside, stating `Loué, sois-tu, Monseigneur, Pour Soeur Onde, Laquelle est bien utile et humble et précieuse et chaste.´ Beneath the large letters written text, Matisse has drawn six waving lines. Two small stains to the left border. The page bears an ''Imperial Japan paper'' watermark. VG The written text corresponds, with few small changes, to a canticle, the ''Letter to the faithful'' by Saint Francis of Assis.
