“绘画万岁! 马蒂斯在1925年从阿姆斯特丹的明信片上向他的同事皮埃尔•博纳尔致意。他们被广泛认为是法国现代主义最伟大的画家之一，长达40年的友谊和对彼此作品的强烈赞赏使他们捆在一起。这本书为他们的艺术对话提供了引人入胜的见解。聚焦于他们的创造性交流，突出了从20世纪初到最后他们各自对现代艺术发展的贡献。这本书由100多幅油画、雕塑、素描和版画组成，在他们的艺术愿景之间，可以明显地感受到他们之间的许多交集，并调查他们对室内、静物、景观和裸体等主题的共同兴趣。学术论文和专题介绍为他们的作品提供了大量的信息，这些信息是两位同事和朋友从他们的作品、信件和档案材料中获得的。另一个亮点是由亨利卡蒂埃-布列松拍摄的一系列标志性照片，他们曾经在法国南部的家里拜访过马蒂斯和博纳尔。

"Long live painting!" With this rallying cry, Henri Matisse, greeted his colleague Pierre Bonnard on a 1925 postcard from Amsterdam. Widely considered two of the greatest painters of French modernism, they were united by a forty-year-long friendship and a keen appreciation of each other's work. This catalogue offers fascinating insights into their artistic dialogue. Focusing throughout on their creative exchanges, it highlights their respective contributions to the development of modern art, from the beginning of the twentieth century to the end of the Second World War. Comprising over 100 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints, the book makes palpable the many intersections between their artistic visions, and investigates their shared interest in subjects such as interiors, still life, landscape, and the nude. Scholarly essays and thematic introductions to their oeuvres provide a wealth of information on the two colleagues and friends gained from their writings and correspondence as well as archival material. Another highlight is a series of iconic photographs taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson, who visited both Matisse and Bonnard at their much-fabled houses in the South of France.
