TEFAF Meet the Experts are interactive conversations with an exhibitor to engage with the vast knowledge and incredible artworks presented at TEFAF.
The French artist Henri Émile Benoît Matisse (31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was best known for both his use of color and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. Primarily famous as a painter, Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century. Matisse, however, was also responsible for significant developments as a draughtsman and printmaker.
In this interactive conversation with Eric Gleason (Kasmin Gallery), you will find out more about Matisse’s printing techniques, subject matters, and artistic developments on the basis of his lithograph Grand Odalisque à la Culotte bayadère from 1925. Join this Meet the Experts to discover how through these patterns, an image of a beautiful semi-naked woman becomes the embodiment of luxurious sensuality, evocative of a heady and exotic world, an Orient of the mind.
Programming will take place in-person at the Veterans Room, Park Avenue Armory. The live event will not be recorded.
