Critics Review
What is special, perhaps unique about Matisse he that he physically changed his physical way of art making, in ways that are fully traced in ‘Color Unbound.’ … The essays in the Thames & Hudson exhibition catalogue discuss the implications of [his] novel form of art making… Thanks to the newest printing techniques, Matisse’s late works look glorious. Color Unbound deserves a prize as the most beautiful art book of the year.– “Counterpunch”
