" This sumptuously illustrated book brings together the work of Henri Matisse and Richard Diebenkorn as never before, illuminating unexpected resonances that connect the two artists across time and space. Featuring stunning pairings of more than 80 paintings and drawings, this book charts the evolution of Matisse's impact on Diebenkorn over the course of Diebenkorn's career. Though they never met, Matisse was an enduring source of inspiration for the Californian artist, and their works share surprising similarities in subject, composition, palette, and technique. Essays by Janet Bishop and Katherine Rothkopf explore how this influence evolved over time, connecting the work of the two painters and highlighting the ways Diebenkorn drew from Matisse's example to forge a style entirely his own. The volume is rounded out by an introduction by John Elderfield, who knew Diebenkorn personally and has curated exhibitions of both artists' work; an essay by Jodi Roberts on parallels between the artists' drawings; and a bibliography documenting Diebenkorn's collection of books about the French artist. The first in-depth examination of the relationship between the work of Diebenkorn and Matisse, this publication offers new ways of understanding both artists.

The book is excellent. If I hadn’t seen the exhibit though I might have given it only 4 or maybe 4 ½ stars, but this book does a reasonably good job showing the scope of the exhibit. There are excellent and well-presented paintings and drawings in the book and the essays do give more information than what is included as descriptions on the museum walls, but in order for the exhibit to be fully appreciated it really must be seen as intended, in a museum. Standing in all the rooms and being surrounded by the art was key for me in being so emotionally moved.
If you can’t see it the exhibit in person (I think today is its last day at SFMOMA) the book is still worth reading. Because I’m so interested in the topic I really enjoyed the essays, and some of my favorite paintings by both artists are included in the exhibit/catalog so I thoroughly enjoyed it, going back to view certain art pieces multiple times. If I was buying books, it’s probably one I’d want to own.
Highly recommended for all Matisse fans and especially for all Diebenkorn fans. If you love both artists, or are interested in art history, this is a must read/see book. (
