Matisse and the Sea
"Matisse and the Sea" examines the influence of the sea across modernist artist Henri Matisse’s career, which included artwork in coastal locations on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. This book brings together imagery in a range of media (painting, sculptures, paper cutouts, drawings, prints, ceramics, and textiles), and has a particular focus on Matisse’s iconic coastal painting, "Bathers with a Turtle", exploring the range of sources, from Cezanne to sub-Saharan African sculpture, that informed this picture.
