Exploring Matisse's lifelong renewal of art through approximately fifty works, six magnificent gatefolds, and illuminating texts, Matisse: The Bigger Picture presents these works on a grand scale that echoes the clarity, abundance, and innovation of his art. The book traces Matisse's evolution from his early naturalist studies to the radiant intensity of Fauvism and the radical simplicity of his late cut-outs, showing his ever-evolving approach to form, color, and composition. Brief essays accompany approximately fifty representative works, offering new insights into the variations of his technique and the context from which they emerged. The volume's sprayed edges and cloth binding echo Matisse's visual aesthetic. Six of his most important paintings—including Joy of Life, The Red Studio, Dance, and The King's Sadness—are reproduced as large-format gatefolds, allowing readers to savor their monumentality and details. Published on the occasion of the 2026 exhibition at the Albertina, Vienna.
