Summary
Details

On the 150th anniversary of the

painter Henri Matisse (1869-1954), the Musée Matisse in

Cateau-Cambresis, which was founded by the artist in his hometown in

1952, pays tribute to the lesser-known man of the North, who became one

of the greatest masters of the 20th century.

You thought you knew

everything about Matisse's work? This exhibition reveals the mystery of

the first 20 years of his career and the awakening of a genius moving

from shadow to light. It honours his early works from the revelation of

painting, and his academic training until the end of his academic

studies in Paris, where he taught until 1911.

This decisive and

defining period of his identity helps us to understand how he grew into a

painter on his Hauts-de-France lands. It dissects the creative process

of the man copying the ancients, drawing inspiration from the greatest

masters of the past and his contemporaries, to shake the codes with

'luxury, calm and voluptuousness' and impose himself on the rank of

those he has contemplated.

Text in English and French.
