Matisse: Life & Spirit, Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou, Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
20 November 2021-13 March 2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition, exclusive to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, offers an extraordinary immersion in the range and depth of the art of Henri Matisse (1869\u20131954). Developed in collaboration with the Centre Pompidou in Paris, which holds an exceptional collection of works by the artist, “Matisse: Life & Spirit, Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou, Paris” is the greatest single exhibition of Matisse masterworks ever to be seen in Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching from his early adventures in colour as a fauvist through to the serene and distilled designs for his chapel in Vence, the exhibition follows Matisse\u2019s search across six decades. Through paintings, drawings, sculptures and his cut-outs, it reveals how Matisse renewed his vision time and again across his long career, seeking new ways of celebrating the seen world and expressing the energy he felt in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
