A unique opportunity to experience the full brilliance of Matisse, featuring major works from museums, foundations, and private collections—many rarely shown in the United States.

The publication underscores the interdisciplinary nature of Matisse's practice, presenting the dialogue between the artist's two- and three-dimensional work. It traces his evolution from the early years of the twentieth century through his boldly innovative postwar period.
A major contribution to Matisse studies and an indispensable resource for collectors, scholars, and art enthusiasts, this volume preserves a rare, non-travelling exhibition for a global audience—offering a vivid, enduring record of Matisse's transformative vision.
