4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely written but not exactly what I wanted, December 23, 2002
By 
Jexii "Jexii" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Matisse (Masters of Art) (Hardcover)
This book is a nice overview of the work and life of Matisse. There are many beautiful and brilliantly described colorplates. It is a complete overview of his work. It also makes a beautiful coffee table piece that may inspire conversation.

I reasoned that because the author choose to feature a later piece by Matisse on the cover the book might emphasize his later work. But when I got the book his later work was only briefly talked about and only 2 of the colorplates were after 1940s.

Overall it is a nice book to get a sense of Matisse, his work and his life.

Matisse did some good interior pictures but many run-of-the-mill nudes and this book has way too many of those
