MATISSE
"No one is better than Professor Gowing at exposing. . . the compositional devices, the tricks of color, the manipulation of line . . . which makes their creator one of the most significant painters of the century." —Times Educational Supplement

In this richly illustrated study, Lawrence Gowing takes us through Matisse's
career, assessing the lifetime of arduous labor that culminated in
the apparent spontaneity of his color and ease of his imagery, and
in the formidable intelligence of his compositions. The detailed discussion
of individual works reveals the subtlety and complexity of one of
the greatest masters of our time.
