Henri Matisse: Beyond Color
Henri Matisse: Beyond Color
April 12-August 9 at the Morris Museum
Henri Matisse: Beyond Color is an exhibition featuring an important cache of drawings made by Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954), generously on loan from the Mourlot Archive. Works that Matisse produced together with master lithographer Fernand Mourlot (French, 1895-1988) will be on display. Key to the project is its consideration of the relationships between the artist and Mourlot, Matisse’s conception of a seamless link that conjoined verse and line drawing, and the intense contexts of Matisse’s own struggles through multiple cataclysms of the 1930s to the time of his death in 1954.
The Morris Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 11am to 5pm. Holiday Closures: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
