Chatting with Henri Matisse: The Lost 1941 Interview

Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied France, an extensive interview with Henri Matisse reveals his reflections on art, fame, and personal experiences. Conducted by Swiss art critic Pierre Courthion while Matisse was recovering from surgery, the conversation offers insights into his youth, relationships with collectors, and artistic influences. For the first time, this volume presents the dialogue in both English and French, accompanied by essays, unpublished correspondence, and original documents that illuminate the avant-garde scene of the early twentieth century.
