This week I've been mainly reading, no. 189.

If you're interested in Matisse and/or portraiture, then John Klein's Matisse Portraits (2001) will be a treat. Exploring the meaning of portraits & self-portraits & then relating this to Matisse's paintings & drawings, Klein constructs a really interesting account of the artist's method & how his interests informed his portraiture. Lavishly illustrated & well presented, this 20 year old book is well worth seeking out.
