Matisse - Invitation to the Voyage

Join me for a comprehensive retrospective of Henri Matisse's work at Fondation Beyeler. The artist’s first broad retrospective in decades showcases his sensuality and rigorous composition.

This exhibition, is the first of its kind in Switzerland and the German-speaking world in nearly two decades, and features over 70 major works on loan from prestigious European and American museums, as well as private collections.

The exhibition traces Matisse's artistic evolution, beginning with his early works around Protected content , progressing through the revolutionary Fauvist paintings and experimental pieces of the Protected content , the sensual artworks of the Nice period and the Protected content , and culminating with the renowned cut-outs from the Protected content and Protected content .

Inspired by Charles Baudelaire's poem "Invitation to the Voyage," the exhibition reflects themes of abundance, tranquility, and pleasure, which are central to Matisse's art.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
