The "Matisse. The Red Studio" exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in Matisse's creative universe. For the first time, the works depicted in "L'Atelier Rouge" are brought together, allowing for the recreation of the artist's studio as he immortalized it in Issy-les-Moulineaux. Visitors can thus explore Matisse's creative process and the inspiring environment that gave birth to this masterpiece.
At the heart of this exhibition is "L'Atelier Rouge," surrounded by six paintings, three sculptures, and a ceramic piece reproduced in the work, created between 1898 and 1911. Among these pieces, renowned works such as "Le Jeune Marin (II)" are displayed alongside lesser-known creations, offering a comprehensive and enriching view of Matisse's work.
The exhibition extends beyond the artworks themselves: previously unseen archival documents and photographs illuminate the context of the creation of "L'Atelier Rouge" and trace its journey since its acquisition by MoMA in 1949. Works closely related to "L'Atelier Rouge," such as "La Fenêtre bleue" and "Grand Intérieur rouge," are also on display, allowing for a deeper understanding of Matisse's artistic legacy.
Complementing "Matisse, L'Atelier Rouge," the Louis Vuitton Foundation also features an exhibition dedicated to Ellsworth Kelly, offering visitors a complete immersion in the world of modern and contemporary art.
