Henri Matisse ( 1869 - 1954 ) The French born artists is known for both his sense of color and fluid aesthetic. Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Picasso as one of the most important artists who helped to define and influence radical Contemporary Art of The Twentieth Century. His mastery of the expressive language of color and drawing won him recognition as a leading figure in world Modern Art. Artworks by Matisse are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.
Widely known for his vibrant and innovative Modernist paintings and works on paper, Matisse produced a large number of sculptures that were equally groundbreaking. This beautifully illustrated book examines more than forty of Matisse's sculptures and joins them with his paintings, drawings, prints, and collages to investigate the relationship between his two-dimensional and three-dimensional work.
Essays present an overview of his creative invention in sculpture and address his sculptural process. The volume presents the results of exciting new studies on Matisse's methods. A selection of works on paper, paintings, and photographs unveils the evolution of his sculptural ideas. Archival and installation photographs reveal how Matisse originally intended his works to be viewed.
The book also examines the artist's work in the context of late 19th Century and early 20th Century sculpture. Works by Constantin Brancusi, Paul Cezanne, Alberto Giacometti, Jacques Lipschitz, and Auguste Rodin address the important questions of influence, affinity, and the meaning of Modernism in Matisse's sculpture.
