Description

A rare and fascinating glimpse into the life of Henri Matisse is offered in this 2013 publication. In 1941, Swiss art critic Pierre Courthion conducted an extensive interview with Matisse while he was recovering from surgery, which was set to be published by a newly established press. However, just weeks before its release, Matisse unexpectedly refused the book's publication. The typescript of this conversation has now been made available in English translation and original French version, providing a unique insight into Matisse's memories of his youth, artistic experiences, and interactions with collectors such as Albert C. Barnes. The book also includes unpublished correspondence and other documents related to Courthion's interview, offering valuable details about avant-garde life and artistic creativity during the early 20th century. This volume is accompanied by a preface by Claude Duthuit, Matisse's grandson, and essays by Yve-Alain Bois and Laurence Bertrand Dorleac.
