description: Traces Henri Matisse's search for balance, purity and serenity, from the chromatic brilliance of his Fauve period, through his travels, the Orient, geometric synthesis, and the odalisques to the triumph when, at the age of eighty, he invented his gouache cut-outs. He is acknowledged as an artist whose canvases are difficult to reproduce in print.
