Product story
Why didn't I think of it earlier? More and more, I feel that one can express with the simplest cut-out what one might want to express as a draughtsman or painter... By entering into the object one comes into one's own.
Henri Matisse
This book, from the Basic Art Series 2.0 by Taschen, is an essential book on the exuberantly creative final chapter of Matisse’s life and includes a concise biography and over 100 illustrations in full colour.
