«Matisse - Recortes» is Gilles Néret's illustrated essay on Henri Matisse's cut-outs, published by Taschen in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyzes the cut-outs Matisse created at the end of his career, when he could no longer paint standing up. With paper painted in gouache and scissors, he achieved compositions of pure color that constituted a revolution in modern art. The work traces their origin, from the trip to Tahiti in 1930 to his final years in Nice.
It includes approximately one hundred color illustrations, as well as photographs of Matisse and texts by writers such as Louis Aragon.
For art lovers and students who want to discover a singular facet of Matisse's work.
Gilles Néret was a French art historian and publisher.
