Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Focusing On The Period 19051913, This Provocative And Groundbreaking New Book Refutes The Popular View Of Matisse As The Painter Of Relaxed Pleasures, The Master Of Decorative Line And Sensuous Color. Alastair Wright Discovers A Darker, More Complex Side To Matisse: An Artist Whose Work, Caught In The Uneasy Space Between Modernism And Tradition, Was Fundamentally Engaged With The Most Pressing Of Modernity'S Artistic And Ideological Debates. Presenting A Series Of Brilliant And Highly Original Analyses Of Matisse'S Most Important Early Paintings, Wright Locates The Artist Within A Wider Cultural Field In Which The Identities Of Modernismand Of Its Viewerswere Highly Contested. Wright Offers A Penetrating Examination Of The Public Response To Matisse'S Work, Arguing That His Earlytwentiethcentury Audience Found In His Painting A Deeply Disturbing Challenge To Contemporary Concepts Of The Self, Of The Nation, And Of The West.This Sumptuously Illustrated Book Positions The Work Of Matisse And A Number Of His Contemporaries In Relation To Key Aspects Of Modernitythe Commodification Of The Individual, The Dislocation Of Cultural Identity, And The Effacement Of Racial Boundaries Under The Pressure Of Imperial Expansionand Provides A Compelling Account Of How These Contradictory Historical Materials Fused To Give Birth To Matisse'S Modernism. What Emerges Is A Renewed Sense Of The Rich Complexity Of An Artistic Practice Suspended Between The Seductive Potential Of Pure Color And An Always Ambivalent Engagement With Tradition. Tracing The Interplay Between Matisse'S Painting And Discourses Of Art And Subjectivity, Wright Offers A Significant New Reading Of One Of The Central Figures Of Earlytwentiethcentury Modernism.
