The brilliance of Matisse can’t be overstated, and he is a perennial Joliette favourite—that's why we were thrilled to come across this rare midcentury book "Henri Matisse: Dessins " from the Bibliothèque Aldine Arts, dated 1956. This book is authored by Agnès Humbert and Fernand Hazan. It is written in the French language and was sourced from a home in Marseille. Henri Matisse, a renowned French artist (1869-1954), revolutionized modern art through his mastery of colour, form, and composition. A leading figure of Fauvism, he challenged traditional artistic norms and created vibrant, expressive works. Matisse's extensive body of work encompasses paintings, sculptures, drawings, and cut-outs, leaving an indelible mark on the art world. dimensions: 4.5"W x 7"L x .5"D Show more
