Henri Matisse 1869-1954 - Maître de la couleur
Musée Matisse - Nice
Description
Matisse most often painted classical subjects: nudes, portraits, landscapes animated by figures, Oriental scenes, and interior views. Yet his treatment of vivid colors and his fluid line have earned him a place among the masters of the twentieth century. Matisse's palette has especially captivated the modern imagination. Through his use of deep blues, amethyst purples, and egg-yolk yellows in all their variations, he freed his work from the constraints of strict representation, seeking instead a form of "vital harmony," taking music as both inspiration and metaphor in his creative process.
From large, pattern-filled compositions to simple and tender portraits, this book showcases the immense richness and creativity that defined Matisse's career - from his early Fauvist paintings to his final projects, such as Jazz and the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence.
