Description
Matisse and the Sea offers a new approach to the understanding of the important painting, Bathers with a Turtle, exploring for the first time the seminal role of African sculpture in the evolution of the painting. The book re-examines the significant connection with Cézanne and provides fascinating new information on the afterlife of the picture.
Matisse and the Sea focuses on the Saint Louis Art Museum’s iconic painting, Bathers with a Turtle. The exhibition catalogue brings together related works by Matisse in a range of media—paintings, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, prints, textiles, and paper cutouts—and objects that influenced the picture, including African sculpture and painting by Cézanne. It also includes revealing new conservation analysis.
The book examines two themes related to Bathers with a Turtle. First, the evolution of the picture, exploring Matisse's appropriation of a range of sources as he sought to develop an experimental and novel visual language. The second theme examines the afterlife of the picture, looking at its impact on Matisse's later imagery of bathers and the sea, as well as its collector and exhibition history in Germany and the USA.
