5.0 out of 5 stars Matisse - 6 Posters, February 10, 2001

This review is from: Matisse (Posterbooks) (Poster)

This Taschen posterbook contains six (12"x17") quality posters at a very low price. The images in this series were created by Matisse in the years 1908 through 1947. There is an informative comment about each oil painting in English, German, and French. A brief chronology of his life (1869-1954) is also included.

The reproductions included in this packet are: Harmony in Red (La desserte), 1908; Dance, 1909/10; Decorative Figure on an Ornamental Ground, 1925/26; Pink Nude, 1935; Lady in Blue, 1937; and Red Interior: Still Life on a Blue Table, 1947.

I wish there would have been one poster of Matisse's cut-outs, but I bought the little postcard book to obtain those images (ISBN 3-8228-9443-5).

I am able to use three of these posters when teaching art at the elementary level (the children get embarrassed if I show the nudes). However, the quality is very nice -- suitable for framing at home!
