Summary

Henri Matisse's adventures in color and light constitute a landmark in the history of modern art. From his apprenticeship in the studio of Gustave Moreau to the paper cutouts of the 1950s, the stages of his journey represent a triumph of artistic research and resolution, as well as a shining example of pictorial quality and theoretical and moral integrity. The more than 300 reproductions in this volume, and their accompanying text, provide a fascinating survey of a complex life that crossed the paths of other legendary figures of the age.
