亨利·马蒂斯（1869–1954）的作品体现了他对绚丽色彩和简洁形式所具力量的一贯信念。尽管马蒂斯尤以其绘画闻名，但他也涉足素描、雕塑、石版画、彩色玻璃和拼贴艺术领域。晚年因无法站立作画，他还开创了独特的剪纸艺术媒介。

马蒂斯的创作主题往往较为传统： nude、肖像以及风景、东方场景和室内景中的人物。但凭借对大胆色彩的运用和流畅的绘画技巧，他奠定了自己20世纪艺术大师的地位。尤其令现代艺术界为之振奋的是马蒂斯的色彩运用。他运用鲜明的蓝色、紫水晶般的紫色、蛋黄般的黄色以及更多其他色调，将自己的作品从对现实的细致描摹中解放出来，转而追求一种“充满活力的和谐”，并常以音乐作为其创作的灵感或类比。

这本图文并茂的出版物内容全面且信息丰富，是与马蒂斯遗产管理方密切合作修订而成的。书中包含了创作草图、全页复制品和放大的细节图，展现了这位艺术家富有探索精神的艺术历程——从他野兽派时期的色彩辉煌，一直到他80岁高龄时发明的水粉剪纸艺术。每一幅图像都经过精心复制，营造出配得上这位卓越表现主义艺术家的观赏体验。这位色彩的吟游诗人理应得到这样的对待。

The work of Henri Matisse (1869–1954) reflects an ongoing belief in the power of brilliant colors and simple forms. Though famed in particular for his paintings, Matisse also worked with drawing, sculpture, lithography, stained glass, and collage, developing his unique cut-out medium when old age left him unable to stand and paint.

Matisse’s subjects were often conventional: nudes, portraits, and figures in landscapes, Oriental scenes, and interior views, but in his handling of bold color and fluid draftsmanship, he secured his place as a 20th-century master. It was Matisse’s palette that particularly thrilled the modern imagination. With vivid blue, amethyst purple, egg-yolk yellow, and many shades beyond he liberated his work from a meticulous representation of reality and sought instead a “vital harmony,” often referring to music as an inspiration or analogy for his work.

A comprehensive and informative source, this lavishly illustrated publication has been revised in close collaboration with the Matisse estate. Including preparatory studies, full-page reproductions, and enlarged details, discover the artist's adventurous path, from the chromatic brilliance of his Fauve period, right through to his invention of gouache cut-outs at the ripe age of 80. Each image has been reproduced with painstaking care to create a viewing experience worthy of the expressionist par excellence. The bard of color deserves no less.
