40 works across 4 institutions
Paris holds 40 works by Henri Matisse across 4 institutions, including Centre Georges Pompidou, Musée d'Orsay, and 2 other venues.
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.

Planning your visit to Paris
