9 works across 2 institutions
London holds 9 works by Henri Matisse across 2 institutions, including Tate Modern and National Gallery.
Matisse's great achievement was colour — the way flat areas of bold, unmodulated hue create space, emotion, and rhythm. His canvases are deceptively simple in reproduction; in person, the relationships between colours become physically present in a way that is impossible to convey on screen.
