Curated By Paul B. Franklin
Kasmin presents Matisse in Black and White, curated by Paul B. Franklin. A carefully orchestrated and highly focused survey, the exhibition will explore Henri Matisse’s ongoing relationship with black and white across a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, various types of prints (drypoints, monotypes, lithographs, linocuts), and illustrated books. Comprising some twenty-five rigorously selected artworks, the exhibition aims to facilitate what one might term “slow looking,” a fundamental principle that informed and nourished Matisse throughout his long career as an artist.
A non-commercial exhibition, Matisse in Black and White will feature artworks with exceptional provenances from both public and private collections, including that of the Matisse family. Honoring Matisse’s lofty position in the history of twentieth-century art, Matisse in Black and White also will present visitors with a rare opportunity to evaluate firsthand the continued relevance of his unique aesthetic project, confirming—one hundred and fifty years after his birth—that he remains not only a singular genius with color and but also an unparalleled virtuoso with black and white.
