Matisse, the internal laboratory

LYON – In the context of the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the Centre Pompidou, this exhibition brings together 300 drawings by the master of modern art, from the academic works by a belated youth, up to the great brush drawings from the 1950s. The organisers of the exhibition did not miss this opportunity to remind everyone that Matisse won nearly 15 years of life –he passed away in 1954 - following a “miraculous” operation of the liver in 1941, at the clinique du Parc, in Lyon. Surely something to be proud of! At the musée des Beaux-Arts, from 2 December 2016 to 6 March 2017.
