Not just any Matisse, my favorite Matisse!! And favorite works of art EVER. Ahhh!! I just got tickets to the Henri Matisse Jazz Cut Outs retrospective at the MOMA!!!
I feel like a little kid again, excited and waiting for Christmas ( I am going December 27th)....This show was recently in London and was the most successful show the Tate has ever put on....."Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs is a groundbreaking reassessment of this important body of work. The largest and most extensive presentation of the cut-outs ever mounted, the exhibition includes approximately 100 cut-outs—borrowed from public and private collections around the globe—along with a selection of related drawings, prints, illustrated books, stained glass, and textiles. The last time New York audiences were treated to an in-depth look at the cut-outs was in 1961."
