THE NEW YORK TIMES, Nov. 5, 1954

* Henri Matisse death
* French artist - painter
* Modern art icon

Near the bottom of the front is a two column heading: "Art World Mourns Henri Matisse, Dead at Home in Nice at Age of Age" with subhead and photo. (see) Lengthy first report coverage continues on page 15 with four examples of his work.
Complete with all 46 pages, light damp staining to the right portion  of the issue (see images), otherwise nice.
