Description
"Ce dictionnaire Matisse est le premier consacré à l'un des peintres majeurs du xx' siècle, qui fut tout autant graveur, dessinateur et sculpteur de génie. Très prisé du grand public, le chef de file du fauvisme continue de jouir d'un rayonnement exceptionnel en France et dans le monde, comme en témoignent les innombrables expositions qui lui sont consacrées. L'ouvrage présente l'ensemble des connaissances sur son oeuvre et sa vie à travers plus de 1 000 entrées portant aussi bien sur ses créations que sur les personnes, les lieux et les concepts qui leur sont rattachés. Il traite d'environ 270 peintures, sculptures, gouaches découpées, décors ou réalisations architecturales, présentés et étudiés en fonction du parcours de Matisse et de l'évolution de son art. Plus de 500 entrées sont consacrées aux multiples amis, artistes, collaborateurs, écrivains, marchands et éditeurs qui ont suivi sa carrière, se sont intéressés à son oeuvre ou ont été influencés par elle, sans oublier les femmes qui furent ses confidentes et ses inspiratrices. Ces relations professionnelles, amicales ou sentimentales sont ici racontées à partir des témoignages et correspondances qu'elles ont suscités. Sont également répertoriés les villes et résidences où Matisse a habité ou séjourné, ainsi que les notions, idées, principes et thèmes récurrents qui ont façonné son univers esthétique et permettent de saisir son processus créatif.
