Six Matisse Cards Paperback - 1999
by Matisse, Henri
From the publisher
One of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) cautiously embarked early in life on a career in art, eventually developing a revolutionary style that incorporated strong, flat tones and an abstract purity of line, decorative pattern, and color. This collection of cards painstakingly reproduces six of his best-known paintings: Harmony in Red, 1908; The Dance, 1909-10; Goldfish, 1912; Decorative Figure on an Ornamental Background, 1925; Odalisques, 1928; and Lady in Blue, 1937. Art lovers and admirers of Matisse will welcome this inexpensive mini-gallery of masterpieces.
