Miller Charles - The Spiritual Adventure Of Henri Matisse Vence's Chapel Of The Rosary - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Henri Matisse described the Chapel of the Rosary the chief labour of his final years as the 'gathering together of his lifetime's work. Although widely known as Matisse's Chapel' the building's remarkable 'modern design and decoration emerged from a surprising friendship and artistic engagement with a group of Dominican sisters and brothers keen to see the Church embrace Modern Art and modern artists. With the advantage of hitherto unexplored archive and printed materials this study highlights that mutual encounter and explores how their shared artistic adventure became for Matisse himself an opportunity to express his religious vision of art and to rediscover his natal Catholic Faith in its post - war avant - garde form.
