Synopsis

The styles of Henri Matisse's works range from impressionism to fauvism to an almost abstract technique. He, along with Picasso, are regarded as two of the giants of 20th century art. This installment of the Museum of Modern Art series depicts the works of Matisse, and is the only film record of the landmark exhibition in Paris in 1970. All of his works, including the seldom-seen paintings from the Russian collections are shown here. Rare footage of the master painter at work is also offered. Matisse scholar Pierre Schnieder narrates.
