I fell in love with Matisse's works even more after reading this。 A great and accessible introduction and overview to his art and life。 Beautiful， good-quality coffee table book。 I fell in love with Matisse's works even more after reading this。 A great and accessible introduction and overview to his art and life。 Beautiful， good-quality coffee table book。 。。。more

Without a doubt， the best book on Matisse I've read。 Not to mention color photos of his work on almost every page。 In that I'm studying Matisse right now， to enhance my own daily art practice， this is THE book that has enlightened me the most。 Highly recommended。 N Without a doubt， the best book on Matisse I've read。 Not to mention color photos of his work on almost every page。 In that I'm studying Matisse right now， to enhance my own daily art practice， this is THE book that has enlightened me the most。 Highly recommended。 N 。。。more

Matisse zelf krijgt 5 sterren en de kwaliteit van de afbeeldingen in dit boek ook maar het inhoudelijke verhaal voelde een beetje net niet。。。

This book is a very short Biography of French artist Henry Matisse。 It covers the main stages of Matisse's life and his most recognizable artworks。As a Biography I liked very much because it’s short - in my view， often biographies tend to be too long， dispersive and so boring。 This book helped me understand Matisse’s most important experiences and developments in his life and work。 However， as often it is for art monograph they tend to write about the artworks which is not of my interest - I lik This book is a very short Biography of French artist Henry Matisse。 It covers the main stages of Matisse's life and his most recognizable artworks。As a Biography I liked very much because it’s short - in my view， often biographies tend to be too long， dispersive and so boring。 This book helped me understand Matisse’s most important experiences and developments in his life and work。 However， as often it is for art monograph they tend to write about the artworks which is not of my interest - I like to interpret artworks on my own。 。。。more

I read this for inspiration for my own paintings。 It was a good easy read of Matisse， his works， and life。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Throughout Matisse’s life decorative and realistic faces were to alternate。 One work will be so nearly abstract as to exclude realistic spatiality; another will be formed by careful scrutiny of given reality， down to the last brushstroke。 In this ambivalence we may see the unceasing dichotomy of oriental and occidental aesthetics in Matisse， or equally the split in the artist between the more romantic and the more soberly scientific sides of his temperament。

Matisse is one of my favorite painters， but I wanted to know other details about his art and life。I discovered so much more about him by reading this book， and I think every Matisse-lover should read it！

Je ne connaissais pas beaucoup de choses à propos de cet artiste des couleurs， mais après avoir lu ce livre et avoir eu la chance de voir plusieurs de ses oeuvres， je peux dire que je l'aime bien。 Il n'est pas un de mes préférés， mais l'art， c'est toujours fascinant。 Je ne connaissais pas beaucoup de choses à propos de cet artiste des couleurs， mais après avoir lu ce livre et avoir eu la chance de voir plusieurs de ses oeuvres， je peux dire que je l'aime bien。 Il n'est pas un de mes préférés， mais l'art， c'est toujours fascinant。 。。。more

Een boek over Matisse， of meer bepaald over Matisse' kunst， dat je er vooral een overzicht van geeft， zodat je er zélf betekenis in kunt zoeken。Alleen omdat Matisse ervan hield en erdoor geïnspireerd werd， maakt nog niet van elke vorm een 'arabesk'。 Het doet uitschijnen dat de auteur meer in Matisse' werken wil zien dan eigenlijk het geval is， wellicht onder invloed van Matisse' eigen （heel interessante） reflecties over zijn kunst。 Voor de lezer is het wezen van Matisse bijgevolg niet altijd goe Een boek over Matisse， of meer bepaald over Matisse' kunst， dat je er vooral een overzicht van geeft， zodat je er zélf betekenis in kunt zoeken。Alleen omdat Matisse ervan hield en erdoor geïnspireerd werd， maakt nog niet van elke vorm een 'arabesk'。 Het doet uitschijnen dat de auteur meer in Matisse' werken wil zien dan eigenlijk het geval is， wellicht onder invloed van Matisse' eigen （heel interessante） reflecties over zijn kunst。 Voor de lezer is het wezen van Matisse bijgevolg niet altijd goed te ontdekken， zeker als de illustraties niet overal even handig zijn geplaatst。 Dat maakt de evolutie soms ook moeilijk zichtbaar， terwijl het boek het daar wel om te doen is。 Verder zijn er ook redelijk wat gaten in de tekst: de info die achteraan in de chronologische levenslijn vermeld staat， komt bijvoorbeeld niet per se terug in het boek zelf， en niet alle biografische informatie is correct。Desalniettemin een prima basiswerk dat de evolutie in Matisse' oeuvre in brede lijnen weet te illustreren。 。。。more

Taschen always produces a good art book， but this is one of my favorites。 The biography is insightful and well-written， and there were quite a few pieces of Matisse's work reproduced here that I was not familiar with。 Useful both as an introduction to the artist， and as a supplement for those already familiar with his work。 Taschen always produces a good art book， but this is one of my favorites。 The biography is insightful and well-written， and there were quite a few pieces of Matisse's work reproduced here that I was not familiar with。 Useful both as an introduction to the artist， and as a supplement for those already familiar with his work。 。。。more

At under a hundred pages， this is an amazing look at Matisse and his art。 the comments are well done revealing some of the artist's life and the comments on the art are not overdone。 Amazing reproduced photos of his art that is true to the vibrant colors that are Matisse。 What a nice escape on a hot summer day that allow me to just sit， breathe slowly and enjoy。 At under a hundred pages， this is an amazing look at Matisse and his art。 the comments are well done revealing some of the artist's life and the comments on the art are not overdone。 Amazing reproduced photos of his art that is true to the vibrant colors that are Matisse。 What a nice escape on a hot summer day that allow me to just sit， breathe slowly and enjoy。 。。。more

Picked this up at Barnes & Noble Sunday with my gift card from nephew Seb。 I'm not a big Matisse fan but some of his stuff is excellent。 He should've taken one more step into Rothko-land though。。。 The flat cover says "Matisse" but the side/vertical binding reads "Henri Matisse"。All done now and not so much more impressed with HM than before。 I like his stuff but don't "get" the big deal about his place in art history。 Seems like Cezanne（who influenced him a LOT） is far more significant and talen Picked this up at Barnes & Noble Sunday with my gift card from nephew Seb。 I'm not a big Matisse fan but some of his stuff is excellent。 He should've taken one more step into Rothko-land though。。。 The flat cover says "Matisse" but the side/vertical binding reads "Henri Matisse"。All done now and not so much more impressed with HM than before。 I like his stuff but don't "get" the big deal about his place in art history。 Seems like Cezanne（who influenced him a LOT） is far more significant and talented。 Nice book though。 。。。more

A nice collection of clear， well-produced prints， and at a low-price。 The text itself is uninspired （hence the missing star）。On a side note， can anyone supply me with the date of Matisse's L'Olivier -- I cannot find it by googling "Matisse's l'Olivier"， b/c of the damned heist。。。 Thanks in advance。。。 A nice collection of clear， well-produced prints， and at a low-price。 The text itself is uninspired （hence the missing star）。On a side note， can anyone supply me with the date of Matisse's L'Olivier -- I cannot find it by googling "Matisse's l'Olivier"， b/c of the damned heist。。。 Thanks in advance。。。 。。。more

TASCHEN's "Basic Art" series consists of fairly inexpensive， full-colour introductions to dozens of painters running just under 100 pages each。 Though these can be rather variable in quality， this installment dedicated to Henri Matisse is great。 Matisse was a "Master of Color"， as the book's subtitle goes， and his paintings here are in explosively gorgeous reproduction。 The paintings appear in chronological order （not always a given with the "Basic Art" series）， which allows the reader to unders TASCHEN's "Basic Art" series consists of fairly inexpensive， full-colour introductions to dozens of painters running just under 100 pages each。 Though these can be rather variable in quality， this installment dedicated to Henri Matisse is great。 Matisse was a "Master of Color"， as the book's subtitle goes， and his paintings here are in explosively gorgeous reproduction。 The paintings appear in chronological order （not always a given with the "Basic Art" series）， which allows the reader to understand at a glance Matisse's gradual stylistic evolution。 Volkmar Essers' text is quite informative。 He splits Matisse's life and work into five periods， "In Quest of Pure Colour" 1869-1905， "Realism and Decoration" 1906-1916， "The Intimacy of the Nice Period" 1917-1928， "Beyond Spatial Limits" 1930-1940 and "Matisse's Second Life: an Art of Grace" 1941-1954。 His comments on the paintings are insightful and never lost in navel-gazing， drawing the reader's eye to perhaps hitherto unnoticed nuances in the works。 Extracts from Matisse's writings appear in the margins， so one can additionally read the painter's own feelings about his work。 The "Basic Art" books are meant to be only introductions， and thus their coverage is a bit superficial。 I could complain that the canvases of Matisse's last period are given fairly little space here， but hey， the book has got me hooked on Matisse's painting and I'm going to move on to a more expansive look at his art anyway。 。。。more
