Recenzii

Spurling at her brilliant bestas passionate scholar, traveller and storyteller . . .Lavishly illustrated and lovingly well written'


An outstanding biography, as full of insights into the pictures as it is revealing about the man
Destined to remain the standard biography for a long time. Spurling has done better than anyone else at uncovering intimate information about Matisse
