Matisse: Magician of Color

From New York Times-bestselling illustrator Derek Desierto, here is an inspiring, exquisitely illustrated picture book biography of Henri Matisse, who overcame hardship to create masterpieces.

Henri Matisse loved color. He dreamed of being an artist. Even after his father pushed him to study for a “serious” job, Henri followed his heart and went to art school. Color was all around him!

After a grueling illness, Henri had to reinvent the way he made art. And what he created became even more magical. His story is brought to life by bestselling artist Derek Desierto, who continues to be inspired by Matisse’s work and now shares that magic with young readers.
