Henri Matisse was one of the most important and beloved artists of the 20th century, rivalled only by his friend - and rival - Pablo Picasso. In a body of work spanning over a half-century, he was variously a draughtsman, a printmaker, a sculptor and a painter. This short book is both a biography and a guide to his art. It focuses on the extraordinary works that Henri Matisse made during the last period of his life - the large-scale cut-outs on coloured paper, including his famous 'Blue Nudes', 'The Snail' and 'Large Composition with Masks'.
