Matisse:
Painter as Sculptor
October 28, 2007- February 3, 2008
Ticketed exhibition with
complimentary audio tour
The BMA
presents the first
major exhibition of Henri Matisse’s sculpture in the U.S. in more
than two decades. Matisse: Painter as
Sculptor features more than 150
sculptures, paintings, drawings, and archival
photographs that reveal the artist’s innovations as a sculptor, the
extraordinary dialogue between his two- and three-dimensional objects,
and his
significance in the history of modern art. A
selection of works by artists such as Constantin Brancusi,
Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Alberto Giacometti,
Pablo Picasso, and Auguste Rodin provide a vivid context for Matisse’s
work,
while interactive video displays provide insights into the production
of
sculpture and the artist’s creative process.
The
exhibition is organized
thematically around a group of more than 60 of Matisse’s great
sculptural
masterworks created from 1899 to 1950. Highlights never before shown in
Baltimore include the monumental series of four bronze reliefs known as
The Backs
(1909–1930), and
more than half a dozen paintings such as Oil
Sketch for The Joy of Life (1905–1906) and
Still Life with Plaster Figure
(1906), drawn from major museum collections. Other major works are the
bronze
sculptures Madeleine I (1901) and Madeleine
II (1903); the five portrait busts of Jeannette
(1910–1914);
and a selection of drawings
and cutouts that explore
similar themes.
Cone Collection Grand Reopening
The famed Cone Collection returned to The
Baltimore Museum of Art after touring the U.S. and Canada. Two
Baltimore sisters, Etta and Claribel Cone,
acquired the largest collection of Matisse in the world, as well as
many works of art by Picasso, Cézanne, and Renoir. The BMA is
celebrating 50 years of the Cone Collection by introducing eight
elegant new galleries and a virtual tour of the apartments where the
Cone
sisters first displayed their collection.
