It's a thoughtful look at the life and development of Matisse as an artist. View works from the very start of his career through to the magnificent Fleurs et Fruits and Nu Bleu. It's a gallery that will suit those who wish to know more about Matisse. The house and surrounding settings are worth the visit also.
Henri Matisse is widely regarded as the greatest colorist of the 20th century. The French artist used color as the foundation for his expressive, decorative and large-scale paintings. He once wrote that he sought to create art that would be “a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair”.
