Summary: This is the first major museum exhibition to focus on the profound importance of Henri Matisse’s personal collection of objects on his creative process. Five thematic sections—“The Object Is an Actor, “The Nude,” “The Face,” “Studio as Theatre,” and “Late Work”—feature a range of works in a variety of media from different points in the artist’s career. Approximately 25 paintings, 15 sculptures and 45 works on paper are showcased alongside 30 decorative and sculptural objects from Matisse’s personal collection—many on loan from private collections and publicly exhibited for the first time. They include pots, pitchers and vases, as well as textiles, sculptures and masks from the non-Western traditions that Matisse greatly admired. Photographs of works in progress and Matisse’s various studios in Collioure, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Nice, and Vence are also displayed, vividly recreating the artist’s working spaces.
