Product Description
One of the most important modern painters, Henri Matisse helped launch the turn-of-the-century art movement know as Fauvism. Favoring the use of violent hues calculated to stir the emotions of viewers, Matisse and the other Fauvists ("wild beasts") turned their passion for pure color into an art revolution, creating innovative works of vivid intensity.

Captions identify each work.

Whatever approach is used, coloring book fans as well as art students and enthusiasts will revel in this opportunity to explore the mastery of color, imagination, and artistic ideas of a giant of modern art.
