A collection of archival photographs, some pub- lished here for the first time, offers a close look at the life of the cut-outs in Matisse’s studios. They show how he surrounded himself with them, and they reveal the way paper forms exhibited texture and materiality, curling off the walls and migrating within and between compositions. The cut-outs were a continuation of the artist’s longstanding engagement with color and contour and were a radical rethinking of the physicality and tempo- rality of the work of art—marking the brilliant culmination of Matisse’s career.

  • Henri Matisse's the Italian Woman, by Pierre
    Guggenheim Museum Archives Reel-to-Reel collection Hilla Rebay Lecture: Henri Matisse’s The Italian Woman, by Pierre Schneider, 1982 PART 1 THOMAS M. MESSER Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third lecture within the Hilla Rebay Series. As you know, it is dedicated to a particular work of art, and so I must remind you that last spring, the Museum of Modern Art here in New York, and the Guggenheim, engaged in something that I think may be called, without exaggeration, a historic exchange of masterpieces. We agreed to complete MoMA’s Kandinsky seasons, because the Campbell panels that I ultimately perceived as seasons, had, [00:01:00] until that time, been divided between the Museum of Modern Art and ourselves. We gave them, in other words, fall and winter, to complete the foursome. In exchange, we received, from the Museum of Modern Art, two very important paintings: a major Picasso Still Life of the early 1930s, and the first Matisse ever to enter our collection, entitled The Italian Woman. The public occasion has passed. We have, for the purpose, reinstalled the entire Thannhauser wing, and I'm sure that you have had occasion to see how the Matisse and the new Picasso have been included [00:02:00] in our collection. It seemed appropriate to accompany this public gesture with a scholarly event, and we have therefore, decided this year, to devote the Hilla Rebay Lecture to The Italian Woman. Naturally, we had to find an appropriate speaker for the event and it did not take us too long to come upon Pierre Schneider, who resides in Paris and who has agreed to make his very considerable Matisse expertise available for this occasion.

[email protected] ANDRÉ DERAIN 1880 – 1954 FROM FAUVISM TO CLASSICISM January 24 – February 21, 2020 WHEN THE FAUVES... SOME MEMORIES BY ANDRÉ DERAIN At the end of July 1895, carrying a drawing prize and the first prize for natural science, I left Chaptal College with no regrets, leaving behind the reputation of a bad student, lazy and disorderly. Having been a brilliant pupil of the Fathers of the Holy Cross, I had never got used to lay education. The teachers, the caretakers, the students all left me with memories which remained more bitter than the worst moments of my military service. The son of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam was in my class. His mother, a very modest and retiring lady in black, waited for him at the end of the day. I had another friend in that sinister place, Linaret. We were the favourites of M. Milhaud, the drawing master, who considered each of us as good as the other. We used to mark our classmates’s drawings and stayed behind a few minutes in the drawing class to put away the casts and the easels. This brought us together in a stronger friendship than students normally enjoy at that sort of school. I left Chaptal and went into an establishment which, by hasty and rarely effective methods, prepared students for the great technical colleges. It was an odd class there, a lot of colonials and architects.

  • Matisse's La Danse
    zlom2/08 12.11.2008 9:30 Stránka 173 Holger Otten MATISSE’S LA DANSE: ON THE SEMANTICS OF THE SURFACE IN MODERN PAINTING HOLGER OTTEN Since in Modernism inner meaning is doubted or believed lost, the question arises of what an interpretation ignoring the established dialectics of outside and inside and limiting itself to an exclusive surface would look like. Henri Matisse’s ‘decorations’ raise questions about the differences between figure and background, appearance and essence, inside and outside. Instead of reference to depth under the surface, it is density and expansion, concentration and contraction, which determine the occurrence of meaning on the surface. Matisse presents himself as a flâneur of the surface, as if he wanted to show us, in the words of Gilles Deleuze, that ‘[i]t is by following the border, by skirting the surface, that one passes from bodies to the corporeal’. Henri Matisse La Danse. Zur Semantik der Oberfläche in der Malerei der Moderne Wie in der Moderne ein innerer Sinn verloren geglaubt oder fragwürdig geworden ist, so drängt sich die Frage auf, welcher Art eine Sinngebung ist, wenn auf die tradierte Dialektik von außen und innen verzichtet wird und wenn der Raum sich in einer exklusiven Ober- fläche erschöpfen soll. Henri Matisses „Dekorationen“ stellen augenscheinlich die Unter- scheidung von Figur und Grund, Schein und Wesen, außen und innen zur Disposition. Nicht der Verweis auf ein Inneres unter der Oberfläche, nicht Tiefe, sondern Dichte und Ausdehnung, Konzentration und Kontraktion bestimmen das Bedeutungsgeschehen

  • Fauvism and Matisse's Bonheur De Vivre
    Matisse's Bonheur de vivre Henri Matisse, Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life), oil on canvas, 1905-06 (Barnes Foundation) The Joy of Life In 1906, Henri Matisse finished what is often considered his greatest Fauve painting, the Bonheur de vivre, or the “Joy of Life." It is a large-scale painting (nearly 6 feet in height, 8 feet in width), depicting an Arcadian landscape filled with brilliantly colored forest, meadow, sea, and sky and populated by nude figures both at rest and in motion. As with the earlier Fauve canvases, color is responsive only to emotional expression and the formal needs of the canvas, not the realities of nature. The references are many, but in form and date, Bonheur de Vivre is closest to Cézanne’s last great image of bathers. Source URL: http://smarthistory.khanacademy.org/fauvism-matisse.html Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/arth111/#9.1 Attributed to: SmartHistory www.saylor.org Page 1 of 5 Paul Cézanne, The Large Bathers, oil on canvas, 1906 (Philadelphia Museum of Art) Matisse and his sources Like Cézanne, Matisse constructs the landscape so that it functions as a stage. In both works trees are planted at the sides and in the far distance, and their upper boughs are spread apart like curtains, highlighting the figures lounging beneath. And like Cézanne, Matisse unifies the figures and the landscape. Cézanne does this by stiffening and tilting his trunk-like figures. In Matisse's work, the serpentine arabesques that define the contours of the women are heavily emphasized, and then reiterated in the curvilinear lines of the trees.

Just as Matisse created alongside Diaghilev, Stravinsky, Massine, and Muelle, there are numerous players that contributed to this thesis. First and foremost, I want to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Heidi Näsström Evans for her continual commitment to this project and her knowledgeable guidance from its conception to completion. Julia Burke, Textile Conservator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, was instrumental to gaining not only access to the costumes for observation and photography, but her energetic devotion and expertise in the subject of textiles within the realm of fine arts served as an immeasurable inspiration.
