His colourfully luminescent paintings are a sweeping affirmation of \u003cem\u003ejoie de vivre\u003c\/em\u003e, levity, and sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing well-researched texts and numerous illustrations, this volume offers fascinating insights into the life and artistic development of Henri Matisse, one of the preeminent pioneers of modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen people think of Matisse's art, they tend to remember above all the famous cut-outs from the last years of his life. He created these at a time when he was already confined to his bed and traded his brush for scissors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the new volume of the The Great Masters of Art series, Markus Müller knowledgeably and vividly describes how Matisse's artistic oeuvre developed towards these colour-intensive and near-abstract works. An illustrated biography, as well as archive finds, which the author was able to include thanks to his close connection to the artist's estate, present Matisse as an artist whose works are a feast of colours and forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430833471724,"sku":"9783777428482","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777428482.jpg?v=1774558336","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/henri-matisse-by-markus-muller-9783777428482","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
