Recensioner i media

The core of this clever, charming picture book is a breakthrough revelation that saved avant-garde artist Matisse’s work—and his life. . . . How Matisse came to realize that “the darker the shadows, the brighter the light” applies to both his art in particular and to depression in general. The illustrations . . . wittily convey the feel of Matisse’s crisis and recovery. A fun, insightful read.
