00:00The exhibition Matisse 1941-1954, which highlights the final years of French painter Henri Matisse,
00:08opens its doors at the Grand Palais in Paris.
00:11More than 300 paintings, drawings, books and cut-out gouaches trace this key period in the artist's life considered his
00:19most prolific.
00:20This period was for Matisse, who was still a old artist, since he had 70 years old in 1941, 84
00:28years old when he was born in 1954 at Nice.
00:31He was the most prolific of his career of painting.
00:36It is also the moment where he will reinvent himself through a medium, which is the gouache découpée.
00:44And through this medium, he will create works that will be more and more monumental.
00:48And it's this aspect of Matisse that we will be able to discover in Paris.
00:52The exhibition spans two floors, and the works are presented in an atmosphere inspired by the artist's working conditions.
01:00What we wanted to restrain in the exhibition and in the journey of the exhibition is this intimacy with the
01:06atelier,
01:06to be able to enter into Matisse's atelier, to be able to find the works as if we were in
01:11Matisse's atelier's atelier.
01:12The exhibition brings together the painter's best-known works alongside pieces that remain little known in France and runs until
01:21July the 6th.
