MATISSE

Of all the artists of the 20th century, Henri Matisse is one of the greatest and probably the most beloved. It is all the more astonishing then, that for so long after his death in 1954, no comprehensive work had appeared on Matisse. Thirty years later, and more than 14 years in preparation, this book by Pierre Schneider impressively fills a large gap in the literature of contemporary art history. Among the 930 illustrations are a great number of works reproduced here for the first time, making this the most substantial reference of the works of Matisse ever published.
