Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is regarded as one of the greatest masters of the 20th century. His paintings, known for their rich colors and profound impact, are celebrated worldwide. However, during the latter part of his life spent in Nice, Matisse explored the technique of "cut-out" or "paper cut-out" art, where he would use scissors to cut colored paper and arrange them into compositions. This exhibition focuses on Matisse's cut-out works, a technique he vigorously pursued in his later years, marking the first such exhibition in Japan. It delves into the monumental expressions he achieved, marking the culmination of his long artistic career. Additionally, the exhibition will feature the grand cut-out masterpiece "Flowers and Fruits," originally housed in the main hall of the Matisse Museum in Nice, which has undergone restoration specifically for this occasion, making its debut in Japan.
