Exhibition at Musée Matisse, Le Cateau-Cambrésis, 10 October 2012 - 16 January 2013, and Musée d'Art moderne, Céret, 2 March - 26 May 2013

One of the indisputed masters of colour, a founder of the Abstract art movement in France, pioneer of synthetic Cubism, Auguste Herbin (1882-1960) also is, with Matisse, a founder of the Musée du Cateau-Cambrésis to which he donated twenty-two of his works in 1956.
This book, catalogue of the exhibition dedicated to Herbin, gathers a selection of about 250 significant works, from private collections and major American and Western European museums, around the Musée Matisse collection.
