Henri Matisse 1869-1954 - Meester van de kleur

The book offers a deep dive into Matisse's life, but I'm curious what motivated the author to highlight specific pieces and moments.

I sensed that moments of hardship influenced his art, but I wonder if others saw this connection as strongly as I did.

Matisse's personality comes through vividly, but I’d love to know what guided the focus—was it based on personal interviews, archives, or thematic choices?
