Product description

A compact, illustrated collection of Henri Matisse's insights into art and life.

In addition to being a formidable artist, Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was a prolific letter writer and regular contributor to many publications. Following in the successful format of ‘The World According to …’ series, this anthology of quotations unites Matisse’s thoughts and artworks to construct a unique view of the world, as seen through the eyes of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.

Covering topics ranging from fame – ‘An artist must never be … a prisoner of success’ – to war and occupation – ‘All is well here, but we see things that are hilarious and dreadful all at once’ – art – 'All colours sing together; they have the essential force of a choir' – and work – 'When you work to please other people, you achieve nothing' – The World According to Matisse paints a picture of a life as lively as it was rich.

Beautifully designed and illustrated with works of art from throughout Matisse’s storied career, this is the perfect gift for art lovers everywhere.
