Matisse, like a novel: the new exhibition at the Centre Pompidou
- On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Henri Matisse (1869-1954), the Centre Pompidou pays tribute to him with an exhibition that brings together major works, some of which have not been seen in France since the major retrospective devoted to Matisse in 1970 at the Grand Palais.
- The exhibition presents more than 230 works and 70 documents and archives.
- Cut into 9 "chapters", the route is chronologicalfrom its beginnings, around 1890, to the 1950s.
- The exhibition attempts to explore the text/image entanglement within Matisse's work. "The importance of an artist is measured by the quantity of new signs he has introduced into the plastic language": Henri Matisse.
- This painter, sculptor, draughtsman and engraver wanted to find "a writing for each object".
- Each of the nine sequences in the exhibition is illuminated by the view of an author on Matisse's work. The following members of the Board of Directors were also present: Louis Aragon, Georges Duthuit, Dominique Fourcade, Clément Greenberg, Charles Lewis Hind, Pierre Schneider, Jean Clay and Henri Matisse himself. The exhibition questions Matisse's relationship to all writing - from the plastic sign to the word.
- A major exhibition.
