Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is adored worldwide as a revolutionary
painter and loved for his collages, or papiers découpés, the
icons of his late work. His paintings and drawings for a long time
overshadowed his achievements as a sculptor. Yet his Back Series,
four bas-reliefs showing a nude, created between 1908 and 1930, are
widely recognised as a milestone in modern sculpture. Starting out
from the naturalistic depiction, Matisse gradually transformed it
to reach a radically abstracted figure. Each of the four original
plaster casts represents a decisive moment of this artistic
process. This transformative process has parallels in Matisse's
painting and drawing. Published in conjunction with a major
exhibition at Kunsthaus Zürich marking the artist's 150th
anniversary, this is the first book to explore the relation between
metamorphosis and feedback in both main fields of the artist's
work. Documents of his diverse sources of inspiration for his
sculptures - photographs of nudes, examples from African and
ancient art - as well as images featuring Matisse at work as
sculptor, round out this volume. It is a welcome addition to any
art library, highlighting the llesser known side of this modern
master. Text in French.
