I checked out a bunch of picture books on Henri Matisse from the library and this was one of the ones I liked better. Some of the pages fold out for added interest.

Content considerations:

One abstract female frontal nude, titled Zulma. No text on that or facing page, so could be easily skipped if desired.

The palette is more muted than Matisse as experienced in a museum, but other than that this book is a very true introduction to his cut paper work. Many pages that fold out into a double spread.

Matisse's Garden was published by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City in 2014 to accompany an exhibition of the "cut-out" works from the last decade of the life of Henri Matisse. The artist found it difficult to paint or sculpt after surgery for abdominal cancer (although this is not discussed in the book), and took up his scissors to make cut-paper collages, often on an immense scale. Author Samantha Friedman was an assistant curator at MoMA and co-organizer of the exhibition, while Cristina Amodeo is an Italian designer. I particularly liked the way the way the latter built in references to Matisse's other work (such as Dance) in her cut-paper illustrations. The book features eight reproductions of Matisse's cut-paper works, some on fold-out pages to better fit the scale of some of these large works. More details about Matisse's life and these works are in an endnote.… (mais)

> Par Yaël Eckert (La Croix) : Le magicien d'Oz par Charlotte Gastaut
13/12/2017 - Il y a l’atelier, peuplé de scènes du passé. Et puis, derrière la fenêtre, il y a Paris, ses boulevards neufs, ses omnibus, ses boutiques de mode, son opéra et ses coulisses où s’affairent les ballerines… Paris qui, irrémédiablement, attire Degas et va s’imposer sur ses toiles, alors que décline la vue de l’artiste. Cet album décrit avec grâce, et en peu de mots, ce point de bascule. Les planches foisonnantes et délicieusement surannées de Cristina Pieropan livrent un dialogue fécond avec les reproductions de toiles du maître. Une belle introduction à l’œuvre de cet impressionniste. Éd. Albin Michel Jeunesse/MoMA, 18 € (À partir de 7 ans)
