Henri MATISSE
Matisse's accomplishments as a printmaker were prodigious. Matisse first
worked on copper in 1903, composed his first linocuts and lithographs in
1906 and continued to make prints over the next six decades. It is perhaps
for his etchings and lithographs of the 1920s and 1930s that he is best
known. His inimical depictions of the female figure have seldom been equalled
for their delicacy and beauty. |
