Praise for Matisse at War: "A gripping story of art, love, and war. Gorham skillfully builds a case for just what was at stake for Matisse, his family, and for art, and how the artist reckoned with all three. By the end of this excellent account, Matisse is a quiet hero... one of art and of age." --Kirkus "From the salons and galleries of pre-war Paris to the liberation of Vichy France, Christopher Gorham's Matisse at War: Art and Resistance in Nazi-Occupied France is a captivating page-turner that blends history with the pacing and verve of a wartime novel. Matisse's lives--both professional and personal--offer a new look at the global conflict, beautifully blending extensive research into the topic with an eye for capturing details of the renowned painter's world." -- Stephanie Hinnershitz, Ph.D, Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, The National WWII Museum Praise for The Confidante: "What The Confidante provides, with cinematic color and encyclopedic clarity, is a resurrection." --The Wall Street Journal "(Rosenberg's) immense influence on American politics, multiple wars, and America's public affairs, long overlooked, is once again brought to the forefront in this wonderfully told book, perfect for readers of history, biography, politics, and feminism." --Booklist on The Confidante "A vivid account of an eventful life." --Kirkus Reviews on The Confidante "An eye-opening biography of presidential advisor Anna Rosenberg.... This is a fitting tribute to a trailblazer." --Publishers Weekly on The Confidante "This is a must-read for everyone. Christopher Gorham has written a book that is a fascinating look at the years between The Great Depression and The Cold War, and one woman who had a huge impact on all of it. A woman whose name we should all know." --The Gloss on The Confidante "Christopher Gorham's authoritative new biography will put Anna Rosenberg where she belongs: among the most outstanding yet unsung women of the 20th century." -- Nigel Hamilton , author of the FDR at War trilogy and JFK: Reckless Youth on The Confidante "Gorham's engaging and deeply researched biography will leave you with two thoughts: 'Why did I never hear of this woman before?' and 'Thank goodness she's been rescued from obscurity!'" -- Kathryn Smith , author of The Gatekeeper: Missy LeHand, FDR and the Untold Story of the Partnership that Defined a Presidency on The Confidante "An outstanding narrative-driven debut that exemplifies why we read history in the first place. Anna Rosenberg's gripping saga should be read by anyone who enjoys a story of achieving success by overcoming long odds." -- Stephen Puleo , author of Dark Tide, The Caning, American Treasures, and Voyage of Mercy on The Confidant, Praise for The Confidante "What The Confidante provides, with cinematic color and encyclopedic clarity, is a resurrection." --The Wall Street Journal "(Rosenberg's) immense influence on American politics, multiple wars, and America's public affairs, long overlooked, is once again brought to the forefront in this wonderfully told book, perfect for readers of history, biography, politics, and feminism." --Booklist "A vivid account of an eventful life." --Kirkus Reviews "An eye-opening biography of presidential advisor Anna Rosenberg....

Christopher Gorham has written a book that is a fascinating look at the years between The Great Depression and The Cold War, and one woman who had a huge impact on all of it. A woman whose name we should all know." --The Gloss "Far and away the most important woman in the American government, and perhaps the most important official female in the world." --LIFE magazine, 1952 "Christopher Gorham's authoritative new biography will put Anna Rosenberg where she belongs: among the most outstanding yet unsung women of the 20th century." -- Nigel Hamilton , author of the FDR at War trilogy and JFK: Reckless Youth "Gorham's engaging and deeply researched biography will leave you with two thoughts: 'Why did I never hear of this woman before?' and 'Thank goodness she's been rescued from obscurity!'" -- Kathryn Smith , author of The Gatekeeper: Missy LeHand, FDR and the Untold Story of the Partnership that Defined a Presidency "An outstanding narrative-driven debut that exemplifies why we read history in the first place. Anna Rosenberg's gripping saga should be read by anyone who enjoys a story of achieving success by overcoming long odds." -- Stephen Puleo , author of Dark Tide, The Caning, American Treasures, and Voyage of Mercy "Rosenberg was a woman who rose to postings that were supposed to be the preserve of men, and she was a patriot who helped us win World War II and protect the home front. Heroine, indeed." -- Larry Tye , author of Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy "Gorham's biography is a must read for anyone interested in the FDR years and anyone concerned about current crises. The Confidante deserves a wide audience." -- Andrew Kersten, author of Labor's Home Front
Synopsis
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 the artist produced in the face of fascism, violence, and hate. For readers of Jeffrey H. Jackson's Paper Bullets, Martin Dugard's Taking Paris, Julie Orringer's The Flight Portfolio, and Picasso's War by Hugh Eakin - from the acclaimed author of The Confidante. In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads. His 42-year marriage had ended, he was gravely ill, and after decades at the forefront of modern art, he was beset by doubt. As scores of famous figures escaped the country, Matisse took refuge in Nice, with his companion, Lydia Delectorskaya. By defiantly remaining, Matisse was a source of inspiration for his nation. While enemy agents and Resistance fighters played cat-and-mouse in the alleyways of Nice, Matisse's son, Jean, engaged in sabotage efforts with the Allies. In Paris, under the swastika, Matisse's estranged wife, Amélie, worked for the Communist underground. His beloved daughter, Marguerite, active in the French Resistance, was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo, sentenced to Ravensbruck concentration camp--and miraculously escaped when her train was halted by Allied bombs. His younger, son, Pierre helped Jewish artists escape to New York; even his teenaged grandson risked his life by defying the Germans and their Vichy collaborators. Amidst this chaos, Matisse responded to the dark days of war by inventing a dazzling new paper technique that led to some of his most iconic pieces, including The Fall of Icarus , his profile of Charles De Gaulle, Monsieur Loyal , and his groundbreaking cut-out book, Jazz. His wartime works were acts of resistance, subtly patriotic and daringly new. Drawing on intimate letters and a multitude of other sources, Christopher C. Gorham illuminates this momentous stage of Matisse's life as never before, revealing an artist on a journey of reinvention, wrenching meaning from the suffering of war, and holding up the light of human imagination against the torch of fascism to create some of the most exciting work of his career, of the 20th century, and in the history of art., In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads.
