Description
Matisse and the Joy of Drawing is a comprehensive exploration of the artist's work on paper, from experimental beginnings to his instantly recognizable mature style. This book offers rare insights into the technical qualities of Matisse's drawings, tracing the evolution of his large and varied body of work. The artist's drawings are contextualized within his own biography and times, from vibrant early twentieth-century Paris to later periods in luxurious Nice. With over 150 illustrations, including archival photographs of Matisse's studio and the artist at work, this volume concisely covers Matisse's entire graphic oeuvre. Lively prose and a wealth of reproductions illustrate Matisse's versatility in different media and his innovative, expansive concept of drawing. The book provides a concise and engaging overview of Matisse's graphic work, from graphic work to the celebrated cut-outs and the famous decoration of the Chapel of the Rosary at Vence, France.
