Because Matisse was so undogmatic in his wisdom he speaks persuasively to artist working in many different ways and in many different mediums. In fact, I think that for Matisse the ideal audience for his writings was one composed mainly of artist and students.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The publication of this anthology of forty-four of Matisse's 'writings' on art is long overdue and should prove to be an extremely useful and popular addition to the growing documentary literature of twentieth-century art."--John Hallmark, "Burlington Magazine<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jack D.
