If one were to list the most important artists of the twentieth century, Henri Matisse's name would surely come very close to the top of the list . Matisse's career has been chronicled in hundreds of books and museum retrospectives (the recent show at the Museum of Modern Art, a longtime supporter of his work, and its giant accompanying catalogue, whose bibliography lists the most important of those, make it possible to easily chart his work and its impact upon the artists of our times). Matisse produced many prints in various media during his life. His nudes in lush interiors, his figure stides, his still lifes, all proclaim his mastery of color and line.
