“Although Matisse refused to consider himself a writer he was involved with words throughout his life”
Henri Matisse was a titan of 20th-century art and almost as many words have been written about his life and work as have about his friendly rival Pablo Picasso.
A travelling exhibition focusing on the works and objects depicted in the French artist’s painting The Red Studio (1911) is currently on at SMK—National Gallery of Denmark. The SMK’s chief curator, Dorthe Aagesen, suggests the show’s catalogue as a good starting point for “anyone who wishes to dive deep into a single painting by Matisse”.
For a broader understanding of Matisse’s life and work, Aagesen has selected four more must-read tomes.
