Matisse
A journey through all creative periods
Henri Matisse is one of the most celebrated artists of Modernism. His groundbreaking work had a significant influence on his contemporaries and many subsequent artists to this day.
The retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler spans all of the artist's creative periods. Beginning with the paintings from around 1900, the show advances through the revolutionary Fauvist paintings, the experimental works of the 1910s, the sensual paintings from the Nice period and the 1930s, and culminates in the legendary cut-outs of his late period.
Drawing on Charles Baudelaire's poem "Invitation to the Voyage" from 1857, the exhibition and catalogue are conceived as a journey through Matisse's work and life.
