Matisse
Gutman, Walter | September 24, 1930 issue

The article focuses on an essay by Roger Fry in the book titled "Henry Matisse. With an Essay" Fry's essay in the book never suggests the richness of its subject. It is a cleverer outline of a modern movement, showing Matisse's place in it. But one feels from reproductions that Matisse is so mature an artist that he can no longer be treated as if his greatest importance were that of a leader of a movement. There are qualities in his painting, which have little to do with the philosophy that has been built around him. He is one of the most interesting painters of women.
