Overview
Henri Matisse is one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, but his legacy as a sculptor is not fully known and understood. The Museo MAN in Nuoro will dedicate an exhibition to the sculptural activity of the artist: the exhibition project, curated by Chiara Gatti, reproposes the concept of the Matisse Métamorphoses exhibition organised in 2019 by the Kunsthaus in Zurich and the Matisse Museum in Nice, adapting it.
The exhibition starts from the analysis of the artist's method of creation. Matisse questions the body in its relationship with the environment and with the changing of circumstances in an extended period of time. His figures, in continuous evolution, undergo a path of geometric reduction that leads them towards an abstraction at the limits of the radical. His versatility leads him to explore, simultaneously, various techniques with curiosity and acute experimentation, crossing the liquid boundary between artistic techniques several times.
