Matisse: «Une Splendeur Inouie»

Synopsis of Matisse: «Une Splendeur Inouie»

This book, written by Xavier Girard, explores the work of Matisse, an artist who remained silent about his own work. The biography stops where the true continuity of life begins, at the door of the workshop. The book examines how Matisse sought relief in sumptuousness through his creations, such as the large planes of reds and blues, the movements of an unanchored line, and the dazzling light of an image drawn directly into the color.
