Le Bonheur de Vivre: The vitaly colors and shapes of modernist master

Труд работы Henri Matisse (1869—1954) отображает ходатайство в плане ярких цветов и simple forms. Потому что известен в особенности для его рисования, Matisse also worked with drawing, soculture, lithography, stained glass, and collage, developing his unique cut-out medium when old age left him unable to stand and paint.

Matisse’s subjects were often conventional: nudes, portraits, and figures in landscapes, Oriental scenes, and interior views, but in his handling of bold color and fluid draftsmanship, he secured his place as 20th-century master. Это было Matisse’s palette что особенно thrilled the modern imagination. С vived blue, amethyst fial, egg-yolk yellow, and many shades beyond he liberated his work from a meticulous representation of reality and sought instead a “vital harmony,” often referring to music as an inspiration or analogy for his work.

Из внушних patterned panels to simple and tender portraits, эта kniha introduces the full reach and creativity of Matisse’s career, spanning его early work within Fauvism movement right through to his latter-year projects such as Jazz and the Chapelle du Rosaire in V.
