Matisse and the Sea" examines the influence of the sea across modernist artist Henri Matisses career, which included artwork in coastal locations on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. This book brings together imagery in a range of media (painting, sculptures, paper cutouts, drawings, prints, ceramics, and textiles), and has a particular focus on Matisses iconic coastal painting, "Bathers with a Turtle", exploring the range of sources, from Cezanne to sub-Saharan African sculpture, that informed this picture." Simon Kelly is lead author and editor of the exhibition catalogue, with essays from prominent Matisse scholars, John Klein, professor, Washington University at Saint Louis, and Ellen McBreen, professor, Wheaton College. Paintings conservator Melissa Gardner provides a technical essay highlighting a new conservation analysis of Bathers with a Turtle"."
