Color Your Own Matisse Paintings

Color Your Own Matisse Paintings by Henri Matisse, rendered by Muncie Hendler

One of the most important modern painters, Henri Matisse helped launch the turn-of-the-century art movement known as Fauvism. Favoring the use of violent hues calculated to stir the emotions of viewers, Matisse and the other Fauvists ("wild beasts") turned their passion for pure color into an art revolution, creating innovative works of vivid intensity. With this unique coloring book, artists, art lovers, would-be painters, and anyone with an interest in modern art can gain a greater understanding and appreciation of Matisse's works. Included are 30 carefully drawn black-and-white reproductions of works from the artist's long and prolific career.
