Henri Matisse is a leading figure of modern art and one of the most significant colourists of all time. In a career spanning over half a century, Matisse made a large body of work encompassing drawing, painting, sculpture and ceramics. After 1948 he was prevented from painting by ill health but, although confined to bed, he produced a number of works known as the 'cut-outs'. These were made by cutting or tearing shapes from painted paper. This concise book, written by Juliette Rizzi, Assistant Curator at Tate Modern, is the perfect introduction to the life and work of this artist and modern master.
