Who other than Henri Matisse's daughter Marguerite could describe
his engraving in this way? Responsible for validating her father's
press-proofs, she is, along with her son Claude Duthuit, the author
of this catalogue raisonne of his engravings. She has devoted a
large part of her life to allowing this 'unknown continent' to be
discovered and which is nevertheless essential in understanding the
progression of an artist known above all for his mastery of colour.
The Matisse Departmental Museum, with the help of the Matisse
family, Barbara Duthuit, and some most prestigious institutions,
explores in this catalogue all of the engraving techniques used by
Matisse from 1900 up to the end of his life. For him, engraving,
drawing, painting, and sculpture all had the same importance, and
in this work all the key themes that led him to build his research
around the human figure, are represented. For the very first time
the matrices (woodcut, lithograph, drypoint, etching, linocut...)
accompany the works and help us to understand that high standards
and hard work, along with an economy of means, led Matisse to
transform black into a colour that he used to serve the purity of
line. Text in English and French.
