Colour Unbound: Henri Matisse 1941-1954

Colour Unbound explores the extraordinary final period of Henri Matisse's life. Following an operation in 1941 that weakened his health, the artist experienced one of the most creative periods of his career, producing masterpieces such as the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence and his celebrated gouache cutouts, including Jazz.

The book brings together full-page reproductions of his works and rarely seen photographs of his studio taken by photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, offering an intimate look at Matisse's final years and the relationship between his life and his art.
