Matisse Portraits

"Although I am unconvinced by his attempts to locate Matisse's work in a broad analysis of the social nature of portraiture, this art historian does have a real gift when it comes to interpreting specific works of art....His book is a reminder that Matisse himself saw his interest in portraiture as a key aspect of his work....I have never seen so many of Matisse's self-portrait drawings and prints together in one place, and they give an electrifying picture of the man's shifting moods."Klein, John is the author of 'Matisse Portraits' with ISBN 9780300081008 and ISBN 0300081006.
