Il giardino di Matisse [Matisse’s Garden], by Samantha Friedman and Cristina Amodeo (Fatatrac/Moma)
MATISSE’S NATURAL COLLAGES by Oriana Picceni - Style Piccoli
Sometimes, a simple shape can give life to a whole world, to be lived and experienced with the imagination. This was Henri Matisse's great discovery when, in the last period of his career, almost for fun, he started experimenting with the collage technique, starting with the silhouette of a bird. And his outlook full of wonder is the theme of this exciting and lively illustrated book, characterized by contrasting colors, simple but highly evocative shapes, flat and bold tones that release all their expressive charge. And we can find the same feeling of wonder in the use of shapes and colors that make up the wardrobe for next spring-summer amidst references to nature and a desire for freedom.
