"Never Before Has Matisse Seemed So Young": Henri Matisse and Abstract Expressionism - Encounters

8 april 2015 
admission free

Claudio Zambianchi
Looking at the painting of the Abstract Expressionists between the first and second half of the 1940s, one can detect a move away from the influence of Picasso's painting towards the assignation of new value to flat brushwork and to the application of colour on the surface. This new development can be traced back to young American artists' interest in the art of Henri Matisse, sanctioned among other things by the major and crucial exhibition devoted to the artist at the MoMA in New York in 1951.
