Muller-Tamm, Pia (editor) et al.. MATISSE: Figure Color Space. 384 pp., 260 color and 120 b&w illustrations. Ostfildern-Ruit, HatjeCantz, 2005.
The most comprehensive publication on the subject of women in Matisse's work, this catalogue explores the ways Matisse developed his rich and imaginative repertoire of forms and colors in his paintings of women: from his somber, early pictures, to his colorful Fauve compositions, his intimate portraits created in Nice and the final, luminous, cut-outs of his later years. Along with paintings, it includes sculptures, drawings, prints, and historical photographs. Published to accompany an exhibition at K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Dusseldorf.
