...dozen years have passed since Matisse died at the ripe age of 84, at a time when it could be fairly said that he was-with Picasso-France's most popular artist. He had had two museums (at Le Cateau-Cambresis, his home town, and in Cimiez, above Nice) devoted to his works; his oils had commanded five-figure prices for more than 20 years.
