On view from July 18 through October 11, 2010, at The Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition examines paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints made by the artist between his return to Paris from Morocco in 1913 to his departure for Nice in 1917. Over these five years, he developed his most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic works: paintings that are abstracted, often purged of descriptive detail, geometrically composed, and dominated by blacks and grays. Comprising nearly 110 of the artist’s works, Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917 is the first exhibition devoted to this period, thoroughly exploring Matisse’s working processes and the revolutionary experimentation of what he called his “methods of modern construction.” Organized by The Museum of Modern Art and The Art Institute of Chicago, the exhibition is curated by John Elderfield, Chief Curator Emeritus of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, and Stephanie D’Alessandro, Gary C.

  • Friends of Art NEWSLETTER Winter 2010
    Friends of Art NEWSLETTER Winter 2010 Collectors Group Workshop Betsy Stirratt and Nan Brewer discuss issues in buying student and faculty artwork Approximately thirty people joined the conversation with SoFA Gallery director Betsy Stirratt and IU Art Museum curator Nan Brewer as they discussed many questions and issues surrounding the pur- chase of student and faculty artwork. The SoFA Gallery provided an appropriate background, hung with a semester-opening exhibit of MFA student work. Stirratt spoke of a generalized increase in interest and sale of student work from her gallery over the years. Although the SoFA Gallery does not have a long-term (or exclusive) relationship with its exhibitors and takes a smaller percentage of sales than a commercial gallery, 2009 was the best year ever for the gallery in terms of sales. This is an important part of their op- erating budget. Stirratt said that although the students produce work at a very difficult and demanding point in their careers, buyers may find it rewarding to cultivate a relationship, and students would almost certainly appreciate the interest of a studio visit. In the context of an upcoming Triennial Faculty group exhibit, Nan Brewer circulated a price list for faculty pieces, and discussed the relationship artists must maintain with their galleries, assisted by comments from Chicago gallery owner Thomas Robertello who was attending. Should a buyer haggle over prices? (Not at student shows, please.) What guides a buyer’s decisions? Will the student pieces ever be worth as much as later work? How does one track the progress of a stu- dent’s career? The audience brought up many important issues of relevance.

Abstract Henri Matisse was one of the great pioneers of modern European painting. His body of work from 1913-17 has been referred to as his most experimental and innovative due to his use of a subdued palette that included the use of black, and a varied working technique comprised of complicated layering due to compositional revisions (D‟Alessandro & Elderfield 2010). Two of his paintings from the Fogg Museum‟s Wertheim Collection, Geraniums, 1915 and Still-Life with Apples, 1916, were subject to a technical analysis in order to understand the materials, development, and structure of these significant works and to determine whether or not they displayed the characteristics of the 1913-17 period. With the aid of Infrared reflectography (IRR), Infrared digital photography (IRDP), and X-radiography it was concluded that Geraniums had slight variations from its contour underdrawing while Still-Life with Apples had significant compositional revisions.

Organized by John Elderfield, director of the Department of Drawings and curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture, with the assistance of Beatrice Kernan, associate curator, Department of Drawings, HENRI MATISSE: A RETROSPECTIVE comprises more than 400 works which together reveal the exceptional range and depth of the artist's work. The exhibition offers the opportunity for a reassessment of both Matisse's career and the critical role his work plays in the history of twentieth-century art. Matisse is fully revealed not only as a painter of scenes of primal beauty, but as one whose art rests on a foundation of extraordinary visual intelligence and rigorous discipline. The exhibition, which remains on view through January 12, 1993, is sponsored by Philip Morris Companies Inc. HENRI MATISSE: A RETROSPECTIVE, which follows a number of more recent Matisse exhibitions on specialized topics, is unique in comprising the largest and most evenly balanced representation of Matisse's work ever to be assembled.

  • Henri Matisse Is Widely Regarded As the Greatest Colorist of the 20Th Century, and As a Rival to Picasso in the Importance of His Innovations
    QUICK VIEW: Synopsis Henri Matisse is widely regarded as the greatest colorist of the 20th century, and as a rival to Picasso in the importance of his innovations. He emerged as a Postimpressionist, and first achieved prominence as the leader of the French movement Fauvism. Although interested in Cubism, he rejected it, and instead sought to use color as the foundation for expressive, decorative, and often monumental paintings. As he once controversially wrote, his sought to create an art that would be "a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair." Still life and the nude remained favorite subjects throughout his career; North Africa was also an important inspiration; and, towards the end of his life, he made an important contribution to collage with a series of works using cut-out shapes of color. He is also highly regarded as a sculptor. Key Ideas • Matisse used pure colors and the white of exposed canvas to create a light-filled atmosphere in his Fauve paintings. Rather than using modeling or shading to lend volume and structure to his pictures, Matisse used contrasting areas of pure, unmodulated color. These ideas continued to be important to him throughout his career. • His art was important in endorsing the value of decoration in modern art. However, although he is popularly regarded as a painter devoted to pleasure and contentment, his use of color and pattern is often deliberately disorientating and unsettling. • Matisse was heavily influenced by art from other cultures. Having seen several exhibitions of Asian art, and having travelled to North Africa, he incorporated some of the decorative qualities of Islamic art, the angularity of African sculpture, © The Art Story Foundation – All rights Reserved For more movements, artists and ideas on Modern Art visit www.TheArtStory.org and the flatness of Japanese prints into his own style.

Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2012. Trinity College Digital Repository, http://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/265 HENRI MATISSE AND HIS WOMEN BEFORE THE WINDOW: A CONSIDERATION OF HIS NICE-PERIOD PAINTING Sophie Katherine Goodwin Art History Senior Thesis Advised by Professor Mary Tompkins Lewis May 2012 Preface Across the vast expanse of his nearly half-century career, Henri Matisse revealed his pursuit of both self and self-expression through a remarkably diverse collection of compositions that refuse formulaic classification. Honoring nothing other than his own rules and rhythms, Matisse looked to line, composition and color to offer his inimitable fingerprint and to articulate his emotions, his sensibilities and his analyses of bourgeois society and its actors. Henri Matisse’s Nice Period output (1918-1929) reveals a commanding theme of synthesis. During a moment of transition, the artist navigated the turbulent terrain of post-war Europe by way of his paintings - reconciling a host of the artist’s musings upon a single canvas - from the his public commentary on bourgeois society in the wake of the Great War to very private, intimate considerations of his emotional condition. The distinct quality of duality survives as a guiding force throughout the course of Matisse’s production of this decade in the South of France.
