About this listen

Henri Matisse was one of the most important and beloved artists of the 20th century, rivalled only by his friend and competitor Pablo Picasso. Hilary Spurling's The Unknown Matisse and Matisse the Master were together heralded as the definitive biography of the artist, and Matisse the Master went on to win the Whitbread Book of the Year award in 2005.

This essential abridged edition of The Life reveals the origins of Matisse's astonishing talent, provides a unique insight into his life and work and, by documenting the difficult path he took alone, clearly places him at the front rank of those who made art modern.
