Henri Matisse by Alastair Sooke - an essential guide to one of the 20th century's greatest artists 'One January morning in 1941, only a fortnight or so after his seventy-first birthday, the bearded and bespectacled French artist Henri Matisse was lying in a hospital bed preparing to die.' Diagnosed with cancer, the acclaimed painter, and rival of Picasso, seemed to be facing his demise. Then something unexpected happened. After a life-saving operation that left him too weak to paint, and often too frail to even get out of bed, Matisse invented a ground-breaking and effortless new way of making art. The results rank among his greatest work. In an astonishing blaze of creativity, he began conjuring mesmerising designs of dazzling dancers and thrilling tightrope walkers, sensuous swimmers and mythical figures falling from the heavens. His joyful and unprecedented new works were as spontaneous as jazz music and as wondrous as crystal-clear lagoons. Their medium? Coloured paper and scissors. This book, by art critic and broadcaster Alastair Sooke, focuses on Matisse's extraordinary final decade, which he called 'a second life', after he had returned from the grave. Both a biography and a guide to Matisse's 'cut-outs', it tells the story of the valedictory flourish of one of the most important and beloved artists of the twentieth century. Published in time for a major Tate Modern retrospective. 'Sooke is an immensely engaging character. He has none of the weighty self-regard that often afflicts art experts and critics; rather he approaches his subjects with a questioning, open, exploratory attitude' Sarah Vine, The Times 'His shows are excellent - clever, lively, scholarly, but not too lecturey; he's very good at linking his painters with the world outside the studio, and at how these artists have affected the world today' Sam Wollaston reviewing 'Modern Masters', Guardian Alastair Sooke is art critic of the Daily Telegraph. He has written and presented documentaries on television and radio for the BBC, including Modern Masters, The World's Most Expensive Paintings, Treasures of Ancient Rome and, most recently, Treasures of Ancient Egypt. He is a regular reporter for The Culture Show on BBC Two. He is the author of Roy Lichtenstein: How Modern Art was Saved by Donald Duck.

Published to accompany the Royal Academy exhibition 'Matisse in the Studio', this book is the first in English to explore the essential role that Henri Matisse's personal collection of objects played in his studio practice. Featured frequently in the modern master's bold paintings, drawings, and cut-outs, and influencing the development of his work in sculpture, Matisse's objects formed a secret history hiding in plain sight. Works that span the artist's entire career are presented here alongside the objects that inspired them, from Asian vases and African masks to intricate textiles from the Islamic world. With lush illustrations and archival images, Matisse in the Studio provides exceptional insights into the world of the artist at work.

The wealthy Moscow merchants Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov were responsible for bringing a remarkable group of impressionist and postimpressionist French paintings to Russia, among them an exemplary collection of the works of Henri Matisse. Relying on his sensibility and self-confidence, Shchukin confronted a Russian society that ridiculed his eccentricities, and from 1908 to 1914 he assembled an exceptional collection of Matisse's works - thirty-seven paintings - with which he decorated his house in Moscow. Morozov was equally appreciative of the painter and, although a more modest collector, acquired eleven canvases. Between them, these two men made Russia the first foreign country to import Matisse's works. Collecting Matisse provides a fresh interpretation of a crucial period in the artist's career - the early years of Fauvism, when he decisively turned toward color as the essential element of painting - and one that radically marked the development of modern art as a whole. Matisse's work was known in Russia as early as 1904, and Shchukin's commission for the great decorative panels La Danse and La Musique revolutionized the Moscow art world. A penetrating text and previously unpublished archival material make this book an essential study on Matisse and his 1911 visit to Russia, where he discovered with fascination Russian icons, tasted the delights of the salons, and unleashed the commentaries of a hostile press, which are included here in large extracts. The following year, Matisse left for Tangier and there produced a stunning series of canvases, which the two Russian collectors acquired with enthusiasm. The correspondence published here for the first time, bears eloquenttestimony to the ties of friendship and admiration that united painter and collectors. The beautiful illustrations and rare period photographs of the Shchukin and Morozov mansions and collections complement the impressions Matisse gathered in the Russian capital and demonstrate their importance for the evolution of his art.
