...artists applied himself to the issue of large-scale, "decorative" figure compositions. Matisse's fauve years, with their hot drumfire of broken, dissonant color, were behind him. Now he was engaged in calming his art, endowing it with a magisterial breadth of form and outline, a simplicity of hue and an archaic, pre-classical subject matter.

These violations of the specifics of the January 27 ceasefire agreement are perhaps no more serious than the thousands of skirmishes and battles that daily make a mockery of the peace, but they are more public symbols of the fragility...
