Henri Matisse: A Retrospective, MOMA, 1992

Published in conjunction with a 1992–1993 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, Henri Matisse: A Retrospective presents a visual and critical study of the artist’s long and varied career.

Edited by John Elderfield, this substantial volume includes more than 400 illustrations, many in full color, tracing Matisse’s development from his early academic works to his bold Fauvist experiments and the vibrant paper cutouts of his later years.

With essays exploring the evolution of his technique, thought, and influence, the book stands as one of the most comprehensive studies of Matisse ever produced. Hardcover in dust jacket, 1992.
