MoMA Matisse: The Red Studio Hardcover Book

Product Description

Matisse: The Red Studio is an exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with a landmark exhibition centered on The Red Studio by Henri Matisse.

This publication brings together, for the first time since leaving the artist’s studio, the paintings and sculptures depicted within The Red Studio (1911). Through extensive illustrations, it examines works ranging from well-known masterpieces such as Le Luxe (II) to recently identified pieces.

Edited by Ann Temkinand Dorthe Aagesen, the book includes narrative essays tracing the life of The Red Studio—from its original commission and early exhibitions to its acquisition by The Museum of Modern Art. Groundbreaking research and close visual analysis offer new insights into this landmark of 20th-century art.

Painted in 1911, The Red Studio depicts Matisse’s workspace in Issy-les-Moulineaux, filled with his artworks, furniture, and decorative objects. The artist’s bold decision to saturate the composition in red has captivated generations of scholars and artists, making it one of the most influential works in modern art history.
