On the occasion of the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Henri Matisse (1869-1954), the Center Pompidou pays tribute to him through an exhibition bringing together essential works that explore the text / image entanglement within his work and offer a unique reading of his creation.
In 1942, Henri Matisse declared: “The importance of an artist is measured by the quantity of new signs he has introduced into visual language. “Throughout his career, he is this artist. Like all great creators, he gives birth to worlds without equivalents – these new plastic signs that he calls for. His work, intended to upset the modern gaze, was expressed through a variety of techniques that he tirelessly explored: painting, drawing, sculpture, illustrated books, and even this singular invention, rich in consequences on the artistic plan, of a drawing in color, with the cut-out gouaches made at the end of his life.
