«Henri Matisse: A Second Life» is the biography of Henri Matisse written by Alastair Sooke, published by Penguin UK in paperback (128 pages, in English).
After an operation prevented him from painting, Henri Matisse reinvented his art with scissors and colored paper: the famous cut-outs of his final decade. Alastair Sooke, art critic and popularizer, combines biography and guide to explain these cut-outs, populated with dancers, trapeze artists and figures created from his bed.
Originally published in 2014 in English, it coincided with the Tate Modern retrospective dedicated to Matisse's cut-outs.
For readers interested in twentieth-century art and artist biographies, and for those seeking a first approach to Matisse's cut-outs.
