Description

The Nasher Sculpture Center and The Dallas Museum of Art will present concurrently Matisse: Painter as Sculptor. Co-organized also with the Baltimore Museum of Art, Matisse: Painter as Sculptor will be the first major exhibition of Matisse’s sculpture organized in the United States in nearly two decades. To establish the artist’s role as a modern sculptor, the exhibition will place approximately 40 of his most important bronzes and plasters in carefully constructed thematic groups that will also include related paintings, drawings, and cut-outs.

The inclusion of comparative works by artists such as Paul Cézanne, Constantin Brancusi, Auguste Rodin, and Pablo Picasso will illuminate the context of Matisse’s work, his dialogue with the figurative tradition, the radical nature of his sculpture in the history of modern art, and his interaction with other great modernist masters. Using new three-dimensional imaging technology, special interactive video programs will explore details of the artist’s creative process.

The installation at the Nasher Sculpture Center will focus on the great sculptural series of Matisse’s career, such as the Madeleines, the Backs, and the Jeanettes, as well as important related paintings and drawings, and influential works by artists from Cézanne to Picasso. Drawn from public and private collections around the world, the exhibition will highlight and put into broader context the important collection of Matisse sculpture formed by Raymond and Patsy Nasher.

Prices: Adults $20, Seniors $18, Students w/ ID $14 and Children under 12 are free.

This exhibition is on view concurrently at the Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center, with each institution displaying different sections of the exhibition.
