To comment on this exhibition, which shows most of the works represented by Matisse beaming around the clock face, the cyclopean eye at the center of l'Atelier rouge of 1911 - a canvas that heralds abstraction and the monochrome phenomenon, and at the same time surpasses them with its surprising red color - we have chosen to publish here a revised extract from a text published in the Revue d'esthétique in 2008 by our collaborator François Jeune.

Extract from the article by François Jeune published in N°110 of the magazine Art Absolument. Published on 2 July 2024
