　　“If my story were ever to be written down truthfully from

start to finish, it would amaze everyone,” wrote Henri Matisse. It

is hard to believe today that Matisse, whose exhibitions draw huge

crowds worldwide, was once almost universally reviled and

ridiculed. His response was neither to protest nor to retreat; he

simply pushed on from one innovation to the next, and left the

world to draw its own conclusions. Unfortunately, these were

generally false and often damaging. Throughout his life and

afterward people fantasized about his models and circulated

baseless fabrications about his private life.

Fifty years after his death, Matisse the Master (the second half

of the biography that began with the acclaimed The Unknown Matisse)

shows us the painter as he saw himself. With unprecedented and

unrestricted access to his voluminous family correspondence, and

other new material in private archives, Hilary Spurling documents a

lifetime of desperation and self-doubt exacerbated by Matisse’s

attempts to counteract the violence and disruption of the twentieth

century in paintings that now seem effortlessly serene, radiant,

and stable.

Here for the first time is the truth about Matisse’s models,

especially two Russians: his pupil Olga Meerson and the

extraordinary Lydia Delectorskaya, who became his studio manager,

secretary, and companion in the last two decades of his life.

But every woman who played an important part in Matisse’s life

was remarkable in her own right, not least his beloved daughter

Marguerite, whose honesty and courage surmounted all ordeals,

including interrogation and torture by the Gestapo in the Second

World War.

If you have ever wondered how anyone with such a tame public

image as Matisse could have painted such rich, powerful,

mysteriously moving pictures, let alone produced the radical

cut-paper and stained-glass inventions of his last years, here is

the answer. They were made by the real Matisse, whose true story

has been written down at last from start to finish by his first

biographer, Hilary Spurling.
