Matisse: The King of Color

(3) K-3 Recovering from an illness, Matisse is cared for by Monique, a young nurse, who helps him resume painting. Later she becomes a nun, and Matisse designs the Chapelle du Rossaire to thank Monique and the nuns for caring for him. The energetic telling brings this fictionalized account of a true story to life. Reproductions of the artist's work happily co-exist within Anholt's own illustrations.
