Description
Matisse originally was not destined for painting, yet his bold approach overturned many artistic conventions. His portraits and silhouettes appear simple, but his radical paintings invite deeper understanding of his impact.
The exhibition features works from the final, highly innovative period of Matisse’s life. These pieces demonstrate his balance between line and color, and between empty and full spaces. Techniques vary across compositions like the Intérieurs de Vence and the Jazz album, all filled with vitality.
Discover the graphic rhythms of the Nus bleus, the vibrant colors of the Danseuse créole, and the bold motifs of his cut-out gouaches. The exhibition presents around 300 pieces, including drawings and stained glass windows, inviting unexpected discoveries.
