Overview
This vivid autobiographical comic unfolds the extraordinary life
of Henri Matisse, the pioneering founder and leader of Fauvism
who, alongside Picasso, reshaped 20th-century visual arts. It
traces Matisse’s journey from his birth in textile hub Le Cateau-
Cambrésis, his early days as a reluctant court administrator, to
his fateful shift to art after appendicitis.
Blending intimate personal stories and artistic milestones, this
book vividly portrays how Matisse, defying obstacles, cemented
his status as a cornerstone of modern art—his life as vibrant and
unconventional as his masterpieces.
