Description
Henri Matisse's cut-outs are among his most significant late works, and this publication re-examines them in terms of their methods and materials.
The book takes the form of a "studio diary", looking at the tensions between finish and process, fine art and decoration, contemplation and utility, and drawing and colour in Matisse's cut-outs. It accompanies a major touring exhibition and includes an extensive collection of previously unpublished archival photographs from this period of Matisse's life.
Featuring scholarly texts by leading authorities on the artist, this lavishly illustrated book promises to be a special contribution to the Matisse bibliography and will become the definitive publication on the cut-outs.
