Abstract:
Addresses the paradox of Matisse's status as a canonical modern artist, but one whose work and career cannot be mapped onto conventional histories of an insurrectionary modernism. This book considers the many-faceted elements of the artist's life, work, and reputation to present a comprehensive framework for viewing both Matisse and modernism.
