L’œuvre d’Henri Matisse (1869–1954) révèle sa croyance éternelle dans le pouvoir des couleurs pures et des formes simples. Bien qu’il soit surtout reconnu pour sa peinture, Matisse s’est aussi illustré en dessin, en sculpture, en lithographie, dans l’art du vitrail ainsi que du collage, dont il a développé sa propre technique de découpage quand son grand âge l’empêchait de rester debout et de peindre.
Matisse a la plupart du temps peint des sujets classiques: nus, portraits, paysage animés de silhouettes, scène orientales et vues intérieures. Pourtant, son traitement des couleurs intenses et son dessin fluide lui confèrent une place de maître du XXe siècle. La palette de Matisse a particulièrement enchanté l’imagination moderne. Par son usage du bleu intense, du violet améthyste et du jaune d’œuf dans toutes leurs nuances, il a libéré son œuvre des carcans d’une représentation rigoureuse de la réalité et a plutôt cherché une «harmonie vitale», en prenant la musique comme source d’inspiration et figure de comparaison dans son travail.
Des grands tableaux remplis de motifs aux portraits simples et tendres, ce livre présente l’immense richesse et l’intense créativité qui a caractérisé la carrière de Matisse, en parcourant ses premières œuvres rattachées au mouvement fauviste jusqu’à ses derniers projets tels que Jazz et la chapelle du Rosaire, à Vence.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The work of Henri Matisse (1869-1954) reflects an ongoing belief in the power of brilliant colors and simple forms. Though famed in particular for his paintings, Matisse also worked with drawing, sculpture, lithography, stained glass, and collage, developing his unique cut-out medium when old age left him unable to stand and paint.Matisse's subjects were often conventional: nudes, portraits, and figures in landscapes, Oriental scenes, and interior views, but in his handling of bold color and fluid draftsmanship, he secured his place as a 20th-century master. It was Matisse's palette that particularly thrilled the modern imagination. With vivid blue, amethyst purple, egg-yolk yellow, and many shades beyond he liberated his work from a meticulous representation of reality and sought instead a "vital harmony," often referring to music as an inspiration or analogy for his work.A comprehensive and informative source, this lavishly illustrated publication has been revised in close collaboration with the Matisse estate. Including preparatory studies, full-page reproductions, and enlarged details, discover the artist's adventurous path, from the chromatic brilliance of his Fauve period, right through to his invention of gouache cut-outs at the ripe age of 80. Each image has been reproduced with painstaking care to create a viewing experience worthy of the expressionist par excellence. The bard of color deserves no less. Through eye-popping colors and simple forms, rejoice in the restless creativity and infectious energy of Henri Matisse, the artist who never stopped making art, and whose vivid palette gave nudes, landscapes, and interior views a whole new modernity. This compact yet comprehensive monograph includes preparatory sketches, full-page. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
