This is Matisse - Catherine Ingram, Agnès Decourchelle - Hardcover
In the history of twentieth century modernism, Henri Matisse is a calm and unstoppable revolution of creative genius. While considered a leader of the Fauves and an inspiration to most of the great figures in modern art, he wasn't particularly interested in being associated with any particular school or trend. Trained originally in the French classical manner, he was inspired by the Impressionists and Cézanne to create in a style that brought out the beauty of colour, form and line by reducing them to their essentials.
In a career spanning six decades, he produced masterpiece after masterpiece that constantly challenge how we perceive colour and form. A family man who worked 'office hours' in his studio he defies the image of the artist as enfant terrible or tortured soul.
