This remarkable book serves as a perfect accompaniment to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's The Fauve Landscape: Matisse, Derain, Braque, and Their Circle, 1904-1908 exhibit. It goes well beyond just being a catalog, however, as Freeman's documentation of the events of the period includes endnotes for each chapter, plus over 400 colorful illustrations and postcard-style reproductions of photographs that capture the views the Fauve artists once gazed upon. An index, selected bibliography and detailed chronology enrich the book and make it both entertaining and informative for general readers and scholars alike. A must-have for any public or academic library!
