From his earliest pointillist-influenced paintings to this mature and playful paper cut-outs; from enormous, ebullient murals to reverent stained glass, Henri Matisse was renowned for his dramatic use of colour and fluid draftsmanship.
This book looks at 30 of Matisse's most beloved works exploring the varying tensions of the artist's oeuvre - his embrace of pure colour, patterns, and texture; the languorous pleasures of the Cote d'Azur; primitive displays of human ecstasy; tranquil scenes of domestic life and soaring monuments to religious life.
An engaging biography takes readers through every phase of Matisse's career and reveals how his aversion to troubling or depressing subject matter was in direct opposition to the radical spirit of his work.
