The work of Henri Matisse (18691954) reflects an ongoing belief in the power of brilliant colors and simple forms. Though famed in particular for his paintings, Matisse also worked with drawing, sculpture, lithography, stained glass, and collage, developing his unique cutout medium when old age left him unable to stand and paint.Matisses subjects were often conventional: nudes, portraits, and figures in landscapes, Oriental scenes, and interior views, but in his handling of bold color and fluid draftsmanship, he secured his place as a 20thcentury master. It was Matisses palette that particularly thrilled the modern imagination. With vivid blue, amethyst purple, eggyolk yellow, and many shades beyond he liberated his work from a meticulous representation of reality and sought instead a vital harmony, often referring to music as an inspiration or analogy for his work.A comprehensive and informative source, this lavishly illustrated publication has been revised in close collaboration with the Matisse estate. Including preparatory studies, fullpage reproductions, and enlarged details, discover the artists adventurous path, from the chromatic brilliance of his Fauve period, right through to his invention of gouache cutouts at the ripe age of 80. Each image has been reproduced with painstaking care to create a viewing experience worthy of the expressionist par excellence. The bard of color deserves no less.
