Madame Matisse by Sophie Haydock is about the most important women in the life of famous artist, Henri Matisse - his wife Amelie, daughter Marguerite, and assistant Lydia. Set in 1930s France, his muses orbit him like moons around a planet…until they come into collision…



The three woman in Matisse’s life: Amélie, his wife and the driver of his career; Lydia, muse, catalyst of the great scandal in the Matisses' marriage; Marguerite, his daughter, later a brave Resistance fighter. By Sophie Haydock (Sophie Haydock) Link: historiamag.com/ultimatum-chan…
