Opens Oct. 20

Discover a decade of exploration, innovation, and renewal in the work of
acclaimed artist Henri Matisse.

This major exhibition tells the story of Matisse as he worked his way through a long creative block at the beginning of the 1930s. Sparked by a commission to decorate the main gallery of the Barnes Foundation, Matisse entered a decade of renewed artistic exploration that forever changed his approach to easel painting.

See it at the exhibition's only U.S. venue: The Philadelphia Museum of Art.
