Editorial Reviews

Flam here mixes Matisse's own words on art gleaned from ``major writings, interviews, and pedagogical comments'' with his own discussions on Matisse and 52 black-and-white illustrations of Matisse's work. This ``well-documented and clearly written source book will appeal to art specialists and laymen alike'' (LJ 2/1/74).
