1941年，亨利·马蒂斯的生活与创作迎来了一个转折点。 七十二岁那年，他接受了一次大手术，身体由此变得虚弱。然而，马蒂斯并未将此刻视为挫折，反而视其为“实现我一生中最大进步”的契机。从那时起直至1954年去世，他进入了职业生涯中最富灵感、最多产的时期之一。那些年里，他创作出了一些最伟大的杰作——从旺斯的玫瑰礼拜堂，到他那些光彩夺目的剪纸水粉画，包括《爵士》在内。他的晚期作品充满活力与生机，与他日益衰弱的身体状况形成了鲜明对比：这些作品动态十足、直抵人心、且无所不包。

本书是为配合在巴黎大皇宫举办的大型展览而出版，精彩地呈现了这次晚期的创作活力迸发。本书设计优雅、印制精美，汇集了马蒂斯作品极佳的整版插图，以及由阿丹、卡帕、卡罗内、卡蒂埃-布列松、西马和迈瓦尔德等著名摄影师拍摄的、难得一见的马蒂斯工作室照片。这种视觉上的对话，辅以专家的精辟评述，为深入理解马蒂斯的最后岁月提供了更丰富的视角，并生动地传达了艺术与生活之间的协同效应。

 

1941 marked a turning point in the life and work of Henri Matisse. At the age of seventy-two, he underwent major surgery that left him physically fragile. Yet Matisse viewed this moment not as a setback but as an opportunity ‘to make the greatest progress of my life’. From that point until his death in 1954, he entered one of the most inspired and productive periods of his career. During those years, he created some of his greatest masterpieces – from the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence to his luminous cut-out gouaches, including Jazz. Vibrant and full of life, his late work stands in striking contrast to his declining physical state: dynamic, immediate and universally accessible.

Published to accompany the major exhibition at the Grand Palais, this catalogue brilliantly captures this late burst of creative vitality. Elegantly designed and beautifully printed, it brings together superb full-page reproductions of Matisse’s artworks alongside rarely seen photographs of his studio, taken by renowned photographers such as Adant, Capa, Carone, Cartier-Bresson, Sima and Maywald. This visual dialogue – enriched by expert commentary – offers a deeper understanding of Matisse’s final years and vividly conveys the synergy between art and life.
