Review Quotes: What is special, perhaps unique about Matisse he that he physically changed his physical way of art making, in ways that are fully traced in 'Color Unbound.' ... The essays in the Thames & Hudson exhibition catalogue discuss the implications of [his] novel form of art making... Thanks to the newest printing techniques, Matisse's late works look glorious. Color Unbound deserves a prize as the most beautiful art book of the year.-- "Counterpunch"
