Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Stated First Edition. MAGISTERIAL: BRILLIANT: NEW Stated First Edition hardcover (Orig. 1998) First Printing * 7.24" x 9.50" x 1.74", 1.10 kg, xxvi+484 (510) pp *ABOUT THE BOOK: Henri Matisse is one of the masters of 20th-century art & a household word to millions of people who find joy & meaning in his light-filled colorful images: yet, despite all the books devoted to his work, the man himself has remained a mystery. Here, in the hands of the superb biographer Hilary Spurling, the unknown Matisse becomes visible at last. Matisse was born into a family of shopkeepers in 1869, in a gloomy textile town in the north of France. His environment was brightened only by the sumptuous fabrics produced by the local weavers: magnificent brocades & silks that offered Matisse his first vision of light & color, & which later became a familiar motif in his paintings. He did not find his artistic vocation until after leaving school, when he struggled for years w/ his father, who wanted him to take over the family seed-store. Escaping to Paris, where he was scorned by the French art establishment, Matisse lived for 15 years in great poverty, an ordeal he shared w/ other young artists & w/ Camille Joblaud, the mother of his daughter, Marguerite. But Matisse never gave up. Painting by painting, he struggled toward the revelation that beckoned to him, learning about color, light, and form from such mentors as Signac, Pissarro, and the Australian painter John Peter Russell, who ruled his own art colony on an island off the coast of Brittany. In 1898, after a dramatic parting from Joblaud, Matisse met & married Amélie Parayre, who became his staunchest ally. She & their two sons, Jean & Pierre, formed w/ Marguerite his indispensable intimate circle. From the first day of his wedding trip to Ajaccio in Corsica, Matisse realized that he had found his spiritual home: the south, w/ its heat, color, & clear light. For years he worked unceasingly toward the style by which we know him now. But in 1902, just as he was on the point of achieving his goals as a painter, he suddenly left Paris w/ his family for the hometown he detested, & returned to the somber, muted palette he had so recently discarded. Why did this happen? Art historians have called this regression Matisse's "dark period," but none have ever guessed the reason for it. What Hilary Spurling has uncovered is nothing less than the involvement of Matisse's in-laws, the Parayres, in a monumental scandal which threatened to topple the banking system & government of France. The authorities, reeling from the divisive Dreyfus case, smoothed over the so-called Humbert Affair, & did it so well that the story of this 20-year scam--& the humiliation & ruin its climax brought down on the unsuspecting Matisse & his family--have been erased from memory until now. It took many months for Matisse to come to terms w/ this disgrace, & nearly as long to return to the bold course he had been pursuing before the interruption. What lay ahead were the summers in St-Tropez & Collioure; the outpouring of "Fauve" paintings; Matisse's experiments w/ sculpture; & the beginnings of acceptance by dealers & collectors, which, by 1908, put his life on a more secure footing. Hilary Spurling's discovery of the Humbert Affair & its effects on Matisse's health & work is an extraordinary revelation, but it is only one aspect of her achievement. She enters into Matisse's struggle for expression & his tenacious progress from his northern origins to the life-giving light of the Mediterranean w/ rare sensitivity. She brings to her task an astonishing breadth of knowledge about his family, about fin-de-siècle Paris, the conventional Salon painters who shut their doors on him, his artistic comrades, his early patrons, & his incipient rivalry with Picasso. In Hilary Spurling, Matisse has found a biographer w/ a detective's ability to unearth crucial facts, the narrative power of a novelist, & profound empathy for her subject.
