Matisse in the 1930's, Philadelphia Art Museum

This exhibit is at the Philadelpohia Art Museum and will be there until the end of January. A large portion of it comes from the Baltimore Art Museum, so if you miss it, head down the coast to Baltimore in a year when they will all be there, but in the meantime learn about Matisse in America! Here is from the museum website: By 1930, Henri Matisse had achieved significant international renown, yet he found himself in a deep creative slump. The turning point came with a commission to decorate the main gallery of the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. The resulting monumental mural, The Dance (1930–33), turned Matisse’s artistic practice around.
