Henri Matisse.

We invite you to a lecture — accompanied by a glass — about one of the most colourful artists of the 20th century: Henri Matisse.

At the lecture we will discuss:

• What is Fauvism and why did Matisse’s painting become a revolution for 20th-century art?

• We’ll talk about one of the most touching stories of the relationship between the artist and his muse.

• We’ll find out why Matisse — who originally studied law — decided to change his profession and devote himself to art. matisse-picasso.kera.org+1

• What is the role of the collector and patron in the fate of an artist?

• How did the support of the collector and patron Sergei Shchukin help Matisse reveal the scope of his talent and create masterpieces that changed culture? moodbook.com+1
