In the time between Henri Matisse’s return from Morocco in 1913 and his departure for Nice in 1917, the artist produced some of the most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic works of his career. Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917 moves beyond the surface of these paintings to examine their physical production and the essential context of Matisse’s studio practice. The exhibition presents approximately 120 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints in the first sustained examination devoted to the work of this important period. More>
