From 11/9 - 12/7, 4 - 6 PM, join us for online only #BarnesClass - Matisse and Color 🎨 - Matisse was enthralled by color and pattern. Color was an expressive life force for the artist whether it was opaque, transparent, saturated, or subtly nuanced. In this class, we will examine how Matisse created a wholly new way of using color—a style that became known as fauvism. - We’ll trace the artist’s experiences of color and light in North Africa and examine his portrayals of beautiful women, exotic locations, textiles, and objects in and around Nice in the 1920s. We’ll also consider The Dance, the ambitious mural at the Barnes completed in 1932–33, as the catalyst for a change in Matisse’s painting practice, propelling him toward collage and design, culminating in his stained glass work at the Vence Chapel. - New students can get 10% off their class by using code NEWSTUDENT at check out.
