Matisse: In His Time

by C Debray (Editor)

The exhibition Matisse in his Time , and this accompanying catalog, present a selection of works belonging to the Musée national d'art moderne at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The masterpieces gathered here are presented in the artistic context of their time, and compared with other masterpieces from the same collection - Picasso to Viallat passing by Braque, Léger, Dufy, Renoir and Bonnard.

What is being proposed here is not, therefore, the master of Dance isolated in his ivory tower, but a Matisse in connection with his time, through his friendships, the abundant and fruitful exchanges with his contemporaries.

Beautiful catalog book to accompany the only North American stopover for the exhibit of the same name. We recently visited Matisse: In His Time at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. It was a compendium of his influence on not only the Fauves but also other artists like Picasso, Renoir, Derain, Braque, Miró, and Modigliani.

I love how this book (and the exhibit) paired works by Matisse and Picasso especially The Algerian Woman with Nude in a Turkish Hat and Still Life with Green Sideboard with Still Life with Candlestick.

I was so excited to see this exhibit (and purchase the accompanying book). This exhibit (and book) is a historic partnership between Centre Pompidou, Ore Cultura, Mondo Mostre, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, and the Inasmuch Foundation.
