With Christopher Gorham, lawyer, educator, acclaimed author of "Matisse at War: Art and Resistance in Nazi-Occupied France," winner of the 20th annual Marfield Prize, a National Award for Arts Writing. Spotlighting the years during WWII when Henri Matisse and his family defiantly refused to evacuate Nazi-occupied France, this groundbreaking book illuminates the previously untold history of their passionate roles in the Resistance and the prodigious, revolutionary work that the artist produced in the face of fascism, violence and hate.
