À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Yve-Alain Bois addresses the evolution of The Dance and its role in
Matisse's career; Karen Butler explores Barnes's opinion of Matisse; and
Claudine Grammont considers how and why he collected his work. The
artworks themselves, sumptuously reproduced, are the subjects of interpretive
analyses that tell the stories of their acquisition and address their critical
reception. The book includes major contributions by Barbara Buckley and
Jennifer Mass on the artist's technique and a report on the latest findings
on the pigments used in Le Bonheur de vivre.
