Book that explores the period of Henri Matisse in Nice, where he moved in 1917 seeking the light and color of southern France. During this time, Matisse developed an artistic synthesis that balanced color and line, volumetric and abstract forms, and freedom and control. His works from this period are characterized by a clear chromaticism and a hedonistic exuberance, evoking the decorative and rococo world of artists like Boucher and Fragonard. 

The book offers a detailed narrative of this phase of Matisse's life, accompanied by 56 illustrations that reflect his artistic evolution in Nice.
