Matisse. Cahiers d'art, the Turn of the 1930s
1 Mar 2023 — 29 Mar 2023 at Musée de l'Orangerie
· Paris
This exhibition focuses on Henri Matisse during one of the most transformative periods of his career: the 1930s. It examines the close relationship between the artist and Cahiers d'art, the celebrated Parisian journal that championed modern art and played a significant role in shaping Matisse's critical reception and artistic ambitions during this decade.
The show brings together paintings, drawings, and documents that illuminate how Matisse's style shifted and deepened in these years, marked by bold experimentation with color, line, and composition. The dialogue between the artist and the intellectual milieu of Cahiers d'art offers a rich context for understanding this turning point in his work.
