4.0 out of 5 stars
Reproductions are great, text is boring,
By Michael (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Matisse (Midsize) (Paperback)
First and foremost, the reproduction quality is really good. That's the most important thing to look for in a book. I've purchased some books where some of the paintings are horribly reproduced. This isn't the case with this book. I am fortunate enough to live in Paris and I have went to the modern art museum to see the Matisse paintings in person and I am pretty satisified with the quality of the book.
However, the text of the book is disappointing. I really got the impression that the author was just writing to fill in space. I didn't really learn much about his technique or much about him in fact. I quit reading the text half way through and just enjoyed the paintings. If you are just looking for good reproductions, this is a good book. If you want to learn more about Matisse and the artists of his time, I'd look at a few other books first, maybe you could do better.

If you love Matisse, you will surely like this book. This volume provides a nice balance of biographical and analytical information on Matisse, along with excellent reproductions.
