A brand new look at the extremely beautiful, if underappreciated,
later works of one of the most inventive artists of the 20th
century Between 1935 and his death at midcentury, Henri Matisse
(1869-1954) undertook many decorative projects and commissions.
These include mural paintings, stained glass, ceramic tiles, lead
crystal pieces, carpets, tapestries, fashion fabrics, and
accessories--work that has received no significant treatment until
now. By presenting a wealth of new insights and unpublished
material, including from the artist's own correspondence, John
Klein, an internationally acclaimed specialist in the art of
Matisse, offers a richer and more balanced view of Matisse's
ambitions and achievements in the often-neglected later phases of
his career. Matisse designed many of these decorations in the
innovative--and widely admired--medium of the paper cut-out, whose
function and significance Klein reevaluates. Matisse and Decoration
also opens a window onto the revival and promotion, following World
War II, of traditional French decorative arts as part of France's
renewed sense of cultural preeminence. For the first time, the idea
of the decorative in Matisse's work and the actual decorations he
designed for specific settings are integrated in one account,
amounting to an understanding of this modern master's work that is
simultaneously more nuanced and more comprehensive.
