In a book dedicated to the great French artist, Louis Aragon talks about his many years of friendly and creative ties with Matisse, explores his work, analyzes the artistic method and restores the history of his creation of paintings and graphic works, mosaics and stained glass windows. Rich in documentary material and richly illustrated, Aragon's book gives a vivid idea not only of a great artist, but also of an entire era of French history and French art. The publication has more than 230 color and tone illustrations.
