Pressestimmen
"Richly informative. . . . Visually striking. . . . If you are a fan of Matisse and want to go inside his painstaking step-by-step artistic process, I urge you to buy the book and read its expert investigations."--Tom Mullaney, "ArtsAndAbout.com"--Tom Mullaney "ArtsAndAbout.com "
Kurzbeschreibung
The works that Henri Matisse (1869-1954) executed between late 1913 and 1917 are among his most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic. Often sharply composed, heavily reworked, and dominated by the colours black and gray, these compositions are rigorously abstracted and purged of nearly all descriptive detail. Although they have typically been treated as unrelated to one another, as aberrations within the artist's oeuvre, or as singular responses to Cubism or World War I, "Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913-1917" reveals the deep connections among them and their critical role in an ambitious, cohesive project that took the act of creation itself as its main focus. This book represents the first sustained examination of Matisse's output from this important period, revealing fascinating information about his working method, experimental techniques, and compositional choices uncovered through extensive new historical, technical, and scientific research. The lavishly illustrated volume is published to accompany a major exhibition consisting of approximately 125 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints. It features in-depth studies of individual works such as "Bathers by a River" and "The Moroccans", which Matisse himself counted as among the most pivotal of his career, and facilitates a greater understanding of the artist's innovative process and radical stylistic evolution.

Matisse reinventing himself and modern art.
7. Mai 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is the catalogue for the current exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, which will then travel to Moma in NYC. It is the first study to have exclusively focused on a crucial timespan in Matisse's career, the years from 1913 to 1917, when the artist experimented with all sorts of styles, techniques and materials, culminating in a major body of works verging on abstraction, such as the Morrocans, French Window at Collioures or Bathers by a River. The aim of the book is to show how and why Matisse came up with such revolutionary works, the influences he was subjected to (from other artists, such as Cézanne or the Cubists, but also from outside events, namely WWI) and how these works relate to each other (especially the back and forth movement of strict or lushful colors, the artist alternately producing ascetic works almost entirely black and gray and others richly colored).
Richly documented (here I would like to point out, on pages 32-37, a very interesting glossary of technical terms that helps the reader delve into Matisse's craft and discover some of his secrets), full of marvelous illustrations and, most of all, replete with magnified details of the works which emphasize Matisse's working process (what he would later call, in a 1952 interview with Tériade, the "methods of modern construction"), this is a high-quality publication, a groundbreaking study which I strongly recommend to anyone interested in the origins and the making of modern art.

Major book on Matisse
21. April 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is full of analysis of H.M.'s work. So ,many painters have dismissed Matisse as a light weight. In the "Bathers" ,the "Moroccans" especially he raises to a painter who has created a painting of great depth. There are xrays of all the major paintings in the exhibit.Plus,the book has extensive reproductions of most of the sketches and studies of pieces in the show. The authors have done a splendid job of telling us the methods and techniques of Matisse. How he used a scraper to re-work a painting for example. Many of the artworks have been re-done many times but, Henri has always in the final result has made work that is fresh. I remember a lecture in 1952 that Dan Catton Rich made about Matisse he said that his great work was in the sculptural reliefs he made of backs in a series.The paintings he thought superficial.I don't think he studied the "Bathers" in any depth.The reproduction although very good could have been larger ,they were limited by the graphic designers organization of type and photos.Missing for me is a good reproduction of the "Moroccan Cafe" . The book fails to recognize the importance of this painting.Its importance lies in its elimination of the angle that is heavily cubist.The "cafe" is in the oriental model,The "Blue Window" of MOMA is also reliant on balls of color. In an old Art News Annual there is an article on Miro and how he made paintings after these works for color organization, that the Abstract Expressionist were also inspired by.The last artist in A. E. living in NYC are more likely to love this show than Chicago artists.Golub was short-sighted he didn't see the importance of Matisse's sculptural figuration.Ethical concerns aren't laid aside by H.M. as brought out by other books on him.Rothko & Motherwell were especially aware of this.This show sets the record straight on Matisse's contribution to international art The book has breadth and is full of important information on the period covered in this book. You may want to get this book on Kindle or an Ipad. Unless you read it on some kind of support your hands will get tired. The book weighs three pounds.The book will become valuable; it brings fresh scholarship to a painter that has been over-shadowed by Picasso.For public and artist anyone who loves Matisse's work. This book is a must. If you miss the show you can gain as much out of the book as the exhibit.I waited and bought my book from Amazon ,my membership to AIC would have been only 20 % of the price. 37% plus one day free shipping is a good deal.

Gorgeously Executed Exhibition Catalog/Book
21. Juni 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Radical Re-Invention of the Art Exhibition Catalog!
A catalog as beautifully and thoughtfully designed as the exhibition itself.
The reproduction quality is excellent, each painting and drawing I desired a memory of from the exhibition is reproduced truthfully - on well
designed pages that turn from white to slightly off white to gray. This book is beautifully printed IN ITALY! It is not one of those budget museum Asian print jobs that gets shipped off to Korea or China with color separations done from bad transparencies without any color corrections and sits on a shelf at the end of the exhibition with reproductions that are nothing but a dark shadow of the original art - this is a beautifully designed and extremely well-printed volume. Thank you AIC, MOMA & Yale for designing and printing a book as memorable as the exhibition. I can now look forward to the time I will have to learn more via the text set along with remarkable visuals. This is also a first edition hardback copy at a fantastic price for a book too heavy to lug home on the plane if you are traveling to see the exhibition.
