Item description from seller

Gray and BW illustrated wraps. 368 pp., profusely illustrated in color and bw; weighs 5 lbs. The works that Henri Matisse (1869-1954) executed between late 1913 and 1917 are among his most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic. Often sharply composed, heavily reworked, and dominated by the colours black and grey, these compositions are rigorously abstracted and purged of nearly all descriptive detail. This handsome book represents the first sustained examination of Matisse"s output from this important period, revealing fascinating information about his working method, experimental techniques, and compositional choices uncovered through extensive new historical, technical, and scientific research. It features in-depth studies of individual works such as Bathers by a River and The Moroccans , which Matisse himself counted as among the most pivotal of his career, and facilitates a greater understanding of the artist"s innovative process and radical stylistic evolution. Contents as follows: Matisse, 1913-1917, and the methods of modern construction : Primer on materials, techniques, and examinations -- Defining a new art : Chronology 1907-1913 ; Modernism and tradition ; Opportunity and invention ; Construction by means of color -- Changing direction : Chronology 1913-1914 ; A painful effort ; New ambitions -- Art as experiment : Chronology 1914-1917 ; Interruptions and returns ; The challenge of painting ; Charting a new course -- Coda : the experiment remembered.
