HENRI MATISSE
Oglethorpe University Museum of Art (OUMA) is proud to present Henri Matisse, A Celebration of French Poets & Poetry.
This exhibition examines the poetic interest of one of the greatest French painters of the twentieth century, Henri Matisse. In 1930 when Matisse returned to France from an extended vacation to Tahiti, he was invited by the famous French publisher, Albert Skira, to illustrate selected poems entitled Poésies by the nineteenth-century poet Stéphane Mallarmé. It was the first of several commissions to follow involving poetry and the graphic arts of etching and later lithography. In 1948, the last major commission and collaboration with Skira was Florilége des Amours de Ronsard an illustrated work consisting of 126 lithographs in sanguine, celebrating the love poems of Pierre Ronsard.
