Featuring 50 works by Matisse and 47 by contemporaries like Picasso, Renoir, Bonnard, Modigliani, Mir\u00f3, Derain, Braque, Marquet and L\u00e9ger, all on loan from the Centre Pompidou, the exhibition Matisse e il suo tempo <\/strong>(Matisse and His Era) is designed to present the master\u2019s works in the precise context of his friendships and artistic exchanges with other painters. Visual comparison with works by his contemporaries will thus make it possible not only to detect subtle reciprocal influences and common sources of inspiration but also a sort of \u201cspirit of the time\u201d in which Matisse and the other artists are caught up.<\/p>\n

Described by one of his Pointillist friends as \u201cwildly impatient\u201d, Matisse dominated the art scene up to the 1950s and is regarded as one of the most fascinating artistic intellects of the 20th century. A central figure in debate all through his career, he was the leader of the Fauves, a critical observer of Cubism, a follower of Signac, Renoir and Bonnard, the rival of Picasso, a teacher and the precursor of an art that looks forward to the abstract expressionism of New York.
\n\u201cI have worked to enrich my intelligence and meet my mind\u2019s various needs, striving with all of my being for an understanding of the different interpretations of art given by the ancient and modern masters.\u201d <\/em>Henri Matisse, \u2018Notes d’un peintre\u2019. in La Grande Revue, 25 December 1908<\/p>\n

It is chronologically divided into ten sections with thematic focuses illustrating the eminently Matissian motif of the odalisque, as in Odalisque in Red Trousers (1921), and the depiction of the studio, a recurrent subject of Matisse\u2019s work but also of stupendous paintings by Braque (The Studio IX, 1952\u201356) and Picasso (The Studio, 1955), as well as the master\u2019s oeuvre and trajectory from his studies with Gustave Moreau (1897\u201399) until the late paper cut-outs and his death in 1954.<\/p>\n
