Henri Matisse, one of the giants of modern art known for his mastery and management of color, which he used to express his feelings and control various artistic elements such as line, volume and light. His work, from the Fauve period to his innovative gouache cuttings in old age, reflects a constant search for balance, purity and serenity, marking a milestone in the history of modern art. This lavishly illustrated publication with authoritative commentary traces his decisive influence and stylistic evolution, highlighting his ability to maintain the essence of classical French painting while incorporating revolutionary approaches. The reproductions, carefully verified with the originals, underline the importance of Matisse and his legacy, especially in the complexity of his colors, difficult to reproduce in prints, making this work an indispensable reference.
