Description: "A master photographer Alfred Stieglitz was also a visionary promoter and an avid collector of modern American and European art from the first half of the twentieth century.

The collection he assembled of their works—by purchase gift and happy accident—was of exceptional breadth and depth and has since become the cornerstone of the Metropolitan Museum's holdings of modern art since 1949. This volume is the first catalogue of the Metropolitan's unparalleled Alfred Stieglitz Collection: more than four hundred paintings sculptures drawings and prints made between the 1880s and the 1940s. After an illuminating introduction that traces the collection's formation and surprising dénouement thirty-one short essays serve as focused biographies of the dealer and each of the artists he cultivated and collected demonstrating the intense and often intimate relationships that affected artistic direction financial well-being or its opposite and social and professional prestige. These discussions are enriched by new scholarship technical analysis and archival research and many works in the colleciton are published here for teh first time. Seen together in splendid color reproductions they present a portrait of a supreme connoisseur—a man who acted as "midwife" in the creation of twentieth-century art.

His influence on modern art both during his lifetime and today has never stopped growing; in the eyes of the world he is the French painter par excellence. Henri Matisse is all the more cherished because his work celebrates the positive aspects of life as evidenced by the titles of many of his major paintings: Luxe Calme et Volupté La Joie de Vivre La Danse Musique to mention but a few. His explosions and juxtapositions of color and pattern inspire pure delight in the beholder and his mastery of line volume and form are perhaps unequaled in the art of our time. The vitality energy and life-enhancing qualities that radiate from his art represent distillation of all that is affirmative in the human condition and are given immortality through that rare and indefinable quality known as genius. The art of Matisse describes a trajectory leading from realism to abstraction from darkness to light from the cold of the north to the heat of the south a route marked off by such revolutionary innovations as the burst of color found in Fauvism or the invention of his cut-outs. Matisse was still creating at a time in his life when many artists are content to rest on their laurels. Since its original publication in 1984 this book by Pierre Schneider stands alone as the bible on the art of Matisse. The author spent fourteen years amassing a prodigious amount of information on the artist and includes his own personal and original views on the work. Including over nine hundred illustrations this is the most substantial reference of the works of Matisse ever published. The reader will discover Matisse watercolorist draftsman ceramist and the architect-- and unquestionably one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. . 1984. 2080120298 .
