Henri Matisse: Master of Color and Modernity

Henri Matisse: Master of Color and Modernity

Henri Matisse is rightfully considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. He made color the main character of his works and brought the boldest palette into art.

At this lecture, we’ll explore the life and legacy of Matisse and find out:

How a quiet, well-mannered man became one of the greatest artistic rebels of his time
 What “normal” profession Matisse had before leading the Fauves
 What color meant to Matisse, through his key works
 Who his patrons were and how they influenced his art and life

The lecture will be given by Liana Lashkhia, art historian and independent researcher.
