Matisse, like a novel
On the occasion of the hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954), the Centre Pompidou pays homage to him with the exhibition "Matisse, comme un roman" [Like a novel], with more than two hundred and thirty works and seventy documents and archives.
A chronological tour in nine chapters traces the beginnings of the young artist, who came late to painting in the 1890s, to the complete liberation of line and colour with the cut-up gouaches he made in the twilight of his days.
