From his earliest pointillist-influenced paintings to this mature
and playful paper cut-outs; from enormous, ebullient murals to
reverent stained glass--Henri Matisse was renowned for his dramatic
use of color and fluid draftsmanship. Thirty of Matisse's most
beloved works are given close attention in this introduction that
explores the varying tensions of the artist's oeuvre--his embrace
of pure color, patterns, and texture; the languorous pleasures of
the Cote d'Azur; primitive displays of human ecstasy; tranquil
scenes of domestic life and soaring monuments to religious life. An
engaging biography takes readers through every phase of Matisse's
career and reveals how his aversion to troubling or depressing
subject matter was in direct opposition to the radical spirit of
his work.
