Henri Matisse: A Retrospective, The Museum of Modern Art, New York City, 1992

About the Item

Exhibition book from the Henri Matisse: Retrospective exhibition in 1992 at the MoMA. Works from throughout Matisse's life. An engaging and interesting coffee table book, makes a great gift to an art lover. This book includes two photocopied art reviews of the exhibit from The New York Times and (now out of print) The New York Observer, see photo. Reproducing more than 400 artworks (320 in color), this hefty catalogue documents the largest and most ambitious Matisse retrospective ever assembled. In his exciting introductory essay, MoMA curator Elderfield, who organized the exhibit, interprets the artist as a painter of metaphors, signs and analogies that pointed to an internal world of the imagination. While the focus here is on painting, numerous drawings, sculptures, prints and stained-glass window designs are also reproduced. Soft cover, text in English. In very good vintage condition, very minor discoloration. No creases or folds to the pages. Cover in good condition, no major scuffs or creases.
