A beautifully illustrated first edition devoted to three of the most influential artists of the 20th century: Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miró.
Written by Rosamond Bernier, the founder and longtime editor of the French art magazine L’Œil, this book offers something beyond a traditional art monograph. Bernier personally knew all three artists during her years in France and shares her recollections of their personalities, conversations, studios, and artistic lives.
The book combines these firsthand memories with an extensive selection of reproductions and photographs, including approximately 350 illustrations, with around 200 in color.
Rather than presenting three distant art-historical figures, Bernier brings Matisse, Picasso, and Miró into a more intimate setting, offering glimpses of the people behind the celebrated works.
