The World According to Matisse L Rogers English

• A compact, illustrated collection of Henri Matisse's reflections on art and life.
• In addition to being a formidable artist, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a prolific writer of letters and a regular contributor to numerous publications. Following the successful format of the "The World According to..." series, this anthology of quotations brings together Matisse's thoughts and works to construct a unique view of the world, as seen through the eyes of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
• Addressing themes ranging from fame - "An artist must never be... a prisoner of success" - to war and occupation - "Everything is fine here, but we see things that are both hilarious and terrible" - to art - "All the colours sing together; they have the essential force of a chorus" - to work - "When you work to please others, you achieve nothing" - "The World According to Matisse" paints a portrait of a life as vibrant as it is rich.
• Exquisitely designed and illustrated with artwork from throughout Matisse's brilliant career, this is the perfect gift for art lovers everywhere.
