Synopsis
Throughout his long career, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) continually expanded the boundaries of his art. By repeating images in pairs, trios, and series, he conducted an ongoing dialogue with his earlier works in order to, as he put it, "push further and deeper into true painting." In this fresh approach to a much-studied artist, prominent scholars from the United States and Europe examine more than sixty works in concise chapters that focus on this aspect of Matisse's working process. From early pairs such as Young Sailor I and II (1907-8) through a series of late studio scenes from Venice (1946-48), Matisse is shown revisiting a given theme with the aim of devising innovative, often radical, solutions to such problems as how to portray light, handle paint, select colors, and manipulate perspective. New technical studies of the early paired works and photographs documenting the evolution of his later paintings help to elucidate Matisse's complex evolution. In numerous excerpts from letters and interviews, he is revealed as an artist who regularly questioned himself and his methods, a man of powerful intellect who regarded each new painting as an adventure. A significant addition to art historical literature, Matisse: In Search of True Painting is a revelatory study of a seminal figure in 20th-century modernism., Throughout his long career, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) continually expanded the boundaries of his art.

    Such a delightful seller to do business with. The bowl is elegant and much better than I expected. A true value for the price. Shipping was fast and the shipping cost was very low. A win - win all the way around. The bowl was so well packed, that I was amazed that anyone would go to all that trouble, to send a box within a box. Just to make sure it arrived in mint condition. Looked like it was" The holy grail". Seller answered all my questions quickly. And she is committed to pleasing customers.

    This wonderful vintage hand carved Asian couple statue arrived quickly, was well packaged, and for the most part was as described. Unfortunately when I opened the box, I found 3 small gouges on the hair and forehead of the woman statue that had not been evident in either the pictures or description. I contacted the seller, who took full responsibility for the defects and issued a full refund, though they believe something must have happened to it on route. I will buy from this seller again!
