      Ce catalogue consacré à l'artiste roumain, l'un des plus grands sculpteurs du XXe siècle, est conçu par Margit Rowell et Ann Temkin, qui signent deux des trois textes principaux présentant largement la personnalité, l'œuvre et l'évolution de l'artiste.Il propose ensuite un panorama fidèle de l'exposition, à Paris puis à Philadelphie, dans lequel toutes les sculptures présentées dans un ordre chronologique et reproduites en couleurs sont accompagnées d'une fiche technique et d'une notice scientifique illustrées par des photos documentaires. Viennent ensuite les sections des dessins et des photographies originales de Brancusi introduites chacune par un texte. Enfin, une chronologie très illustrée écrite par Margit Rowell vient parfaire la connaissance de ce grand artiste trop longtemps méconnu et présenté pour la première fois en France.

      Created in 1911, Henri Matisse's The Red Studio is a pivotal work in modern art, displayed at MoMA since 1949. The painting portrays the artist's studio in Issy-les-Moulineaux, filled with his artworks, furniture, and decorative items. Matisse's bold choice to cover most of the canvas in red has intrigued scholars and artists alike, yet much about the painting's origins and history remains to be explored. This illustrated volume accompanies an exhibition that reunites the artworks featured in The Red Studio for the first time since they left Matisse's workspace. It examines both well-known pieces, like Le Luxe (II) (1907-08), now at SMK—National Gallery of Denmark, and lesser-known works recently rediscovered. A narrative essay by Ann Temkin, Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at MoMA, and Dorthe Aagesen, Chief Curator at SMK, chronicles the painting's journey from its commissioning to its exhibition history and eventual placement at MoMA. Through groundbreaking research and detailed analysis, this book enriches our understanding of this landmark piece of twentieth-century art.
