Henri Matisse 1869-1954 - Maître de la couleur

9783836529037

Henri Matisse's (1869-1954) work reveals his enduring belief in the power of pure colors and simple forms. Although he is best known for his painting, Matisse also excelled in drawing, sculpture, lithography, and the art of stained glass, as well as collage - a technique he developed himself when, in old age, he could no longer stand to paint.

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.
