Matisse: Dr Gail Nina-Anderson

Art, Spoken Word / Monday, 18 June 2012 - 6:30pm
£6.50

Dr Gail Nina-Anderson

While undoubtedly a major player in the formulation of Modernist Art, Henri Matisse produced a body of joyous, colourful work that retains its impact and popularity today.

During a long career (1869-1954) his painting developed not through adherence to theory but via a continuing exploration of the relationship between line and colour, which allies him to the classical French traditions of drawing while pushing the boundaries of those same traditions.

Initially criticised for being unconventional, his work has also been dismissed as overly decorative. This overview of his diverse and engaging output allows you to weigh the debate - have we begun to distrust art that offers visual enjoyment?
