Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Henri Matisse's long life and career was marked by steady, industrious work and a constant seeking and reevaluation of his remarkable art. His continued struggles with self expression gave to the world, over some six decades, a wealth of new visions in line, color, and form. With the exception of Pablo Picasso, no other artist has so profoundly and single-handedly influenced the direction of modern art. This volume celebrates the life and work of this extraordinary artist with 98 full-color and archival photographs.
Includes index.
Originally published: London: Tiger, 1997.
Matisse quickly moved over some six decades from the dotted brushwork of Neo-Impressionism to the bold expressions of Fauvism, then left Fauvism behind for a monumental decorative style characterized by simplified color and design.
