Henri Matisse created an oeuvre that is

unparalleled in its brilliance and originality. His

colorfully luminescent paintings are a sweeping

affirmation of joie - de - vivre, levity and sensitivity.

Featuring well - researched texts and numerous

illustrations, this volume offers fascinating insights

into the life and artistic development of Henri

Matisse Henri Matisse, one of the preeminent

pioneers of modern art. When people think of Matisse's art, they tend to

remember above all the famous cut - o uts from the

last years of his life. He created these at a time

when he was already confined to his bed and

traded his brush for scissors. In the new volume of

the The Great Masters of Art series, Markus Müller

knowledgeably and vividly describes how Matis se's

artistic oeuvre developed towards these color - intensive and near - abstract works. An illustrated

biography, as well as archive finds the author was

able to include thanks to his close connection to

the artist's estate, present Matisse as an artist

whos e works are a feast of colors and forms.
