A landmark compendium - the first authoritative publication to
cover in its entirety one of the most significant holdings of
Matisse in the world. Here is a vibrant celebration - slipcased and
beautifully produced - of the Barnes's extraordinary Matisse
collection. Composed of fifty-nine works from every stage of the
artist's career, it is among the most important in the world. At
its heart are Matisse's most historically significant paintings, Le
Bonheur de vivre, also called The Joy of Life, and The Dance, the
monumental mural that Albert C. Barnes commissioned to fill the
lunettes of the Foundation's main gallery, transforming both the
space and the artist's career. An essay by Yve-Alain Bois addresses
the evolution of The Dance and its role in Matisse's career; Karen
Butler looks at what Barnes thought of Matisse; and Claudine
Grammont's considers how and why he collected his work. The
artworks themselves, sumptuously reproduced, are the subjects of
interpretive analyses that tell the stories of their acquisition
and address their critical reception. The book includes major
contributions by Barbara Buckley and Jennifer Mass on the
artist’s technique and a report on the latest findings on the
pigments used in Le Bonheur de vivre.
