Matisse: Drawing Life, and the exhibition it accompanies, explores Matisse’s works, on and with paper, made throughout his long career. Featuring more than 300 drawings, prints, illustrated books and selected paintings and paper cut-outs by one of the twentieth century’s greatest artists, it traces an arc from the artist’s studies in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, through the intimacies of daily life in his studio sketched in pencil and pen, to the masterpieces made using line, light and colour in the decade before his death in 1954. This publication showcases the most comprehensive gathering of Matisse’s graphic work from major international museums and private collections ever presented in an exhibition with new writing by Isabelle Monod-Fontaine, Céline Chicha-Castex and Emilie Ovaere-Corthay.
Available in paperback and hardcover from the Gallery Store and online
