Matisse

More about the book

For Henri Matisse, drawing was an exercise as personal as it was essential to his art. Reproduced on elegant paper stock, these black and white and gently coloured sketches allow the viewer to appreciate the quality of Matisse's lines, their confidence and ease, as well as the intense relationship between artist and model. Matisse's joie de vivre, his love of beauty and his fascination with the human body are clearly in evidence in this lovely book that is a pleasure to hold.
