Title : Henri Matisse - Marcelin Pleynet - book

Summary :

There, all is order and beauty, luxury, calm and voluptuousness." Internationally recognized as one of the founders of modern art and as the greatest and most prestigious French artist of the 20th century, Matisse set himself, from the very beginning of his career, a program that contradicted in every way the ideologies, pessimism and nihilism of his century. What about this exceptional figure who declared in 1929: "Without voluptuousness there is nothing"? What about this artist who, striving to "reunite the past with the future of tradition", established a modern, and specifically French, art of the joy of living? What about the legacy of such a work today? How does it reveal itself, more than any other, capable of clarifying the particularly confused situation in which contemporary art is drowning? Marcelin Pleynet, taking up the work and biography of Matisse in their entirety, endeavors here to shed light on the answers that Matisse provides, among others, to these questions.
