Overview
"The moment I held the box of colors in my hands, I sensed that here was my life." — Henri Matisse
In addition to being a formidable painter, Henri Matisse (1869– 1954) was a remarkable graphic artist, sculptor, printmaker, as well as a prolific letter writer. Following in the successful format of The World According to . . . series, this anthology of quotations unites Matisse's thoughts and artworks to construct a unique view of the world, as seen through the eyes of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
Best known for his pioneering paintings and striking cutouts, Henri Matisse has captured the world's imagination as few other artists have. Covering topics ranging from fame (“An artist must never be . . . a prisoner of success”) to war and occupation (“I am infected with dread [. . .] hence work is hard, and unproductive.”), art (“All colors sing together; they have the essential force of a choir”), and work (“When you work to please other people, you achieve nothing.”) The World According to Matisse paints the picture of a life as lively as it was rich.
Born in Le Cateau, France, Henri Matisse initially trained as a lawyer before moving to Paris to become a professional artist. There, he would give rise to the first of the avant-garde movements, creating paintings that shocked his contemporaries and permanently altered the course of modern art.
Beautifully designed and illustrated with works of art from throughout Matisse's storied career, this is the perfect gift for art lovers everywhere.
