			In celebration of 150 years of Matisse, My Art Museum presents Korea's very first exhibition dedicated to Henri Matisse(1869-1954). Henri Matisse, a French “Fauvist” acclaimed to be one of the finest artists in the 20th century along with Picasso, produced artworks using vast ranges of medium including oil paintings, drawings, sculptures, lithographs, “cut-outs,” and book illustrations during 50 years of his artistic life.This special exhibition introduces more than 120 original artworks as well as his series made of paper “cut-outs,” drawings, lithographs, and the costumes designed for ballet performances. One of the highlights of the exhibition, , was inspired by his voyages to Tahiti and Morocco.

The artwork features vivid colors and patterns that can be discovered in nature, hence once again, proving his naivety and passion for art in the artist’s later years. The artworks in this eponymous exhibition are on display by courtesy of Pablo Picasso Museum in Munster, Collection Lambert in Avignon, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo of Monaco, and Collection Marzocco. The simple but connotative forms of Matisse's “cut-outs” had a major influence in Abstract Art and Minimalism in the 20th and 21st centuries. By providing an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of vivid colors and delicate lines alive in different media throughout the oeuvre of Henri Matisse, this special exhibition will bring comfort and happiness to the depressed hearts of the people in time of COVID-19.
