Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Matisse (illustrator). 1st Edition. NOTES FROM THE INSIDE FLAP OF THE DUST-JACKET: BY HILARY SPURLING ' If my story were ever to be written down truthfully from start to finish, it would amaze everyone,' wrote Henri Matisse. It is hard to believe today that Matisse, whose exhibitions, draw huge crowds worldwide, was once almost universally reviled and ridiculed. His response was neither to protest nor to retreat. He simply pushed on from one innovation to the next, and left the world to draw its own conclusions. Unfortunately, these were generally false and often damaging. Throughout his life and afterwards, people fantasized about his models and circulated baseless fabrications about his private life. Fifty years after his death, 'MATISSE THE MASTER' shows us the painter as he saw himself. With unprecedented and unrestricted access to his voluminous family correspondence, and other new material in private archives, Hillary Spurling documents a lifetime of desperation and self-doubt, exacerbated by my M'atisse's attempts to counteract the violence and disruption of the 20th century in paintings that seemed out of effortlessly serene radiant and stable. here for the first time is the truth about Matisse's models, especially to Russians: his pupil Olga Meerson ( whose hitherto unknown portrait of Matisse lying on his studio couch is on the dust jacket ) and the extraordinary Lydia Delectorskaya, who became his studio manager, secretary and companion in the last two decades of his life. What every woman who played an important part in Matisse's life was remarkable in her own right, but not least his beloved daughter Marguerite, whose honesty and courage surmounted all ordeals, including interrogation and torture by the Gestapo in World War II. If you have ever wondered how anyone with such a tame, dull personal image as Matisse could have painted such rich, powerful, mysteriously moving pictures, let alone produce the radical cut paper and stained-glass inventions of his last years, here's the answer. They were made by the real Matisse, whose true story has been written down at last from start to finish by his first biographer, Hilary Sperling.
