About this title

Synopsis

Book by Bonnard, Pierre, Matisse, Henri

Review

Beginning with the "Vive la peinture! [Long live painting!]" that Matisse writes to Bonnard, this little volume of correspondence between two artists and friends reveals a common vision about aesthetics and renders their personal and artistic struggles and triumphs. The book includes 23 black-and-white illustrations (including photos taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson) depicting the artists at work and at home, as well as facsimiles of their handwritten correspondence--something to savor in this day of answering machines and electronic mail.
