"Matisse asked the doctors for three years; he got 13. The work that he produced is the subject of a 300-work exhibition organised by the Centre Pompidou at the Grand Palais in Paris."
"Examples of every element of Matisse's extraordinary production during his final years abound: the maquettes and pochoir prints for Jazz, the improvisatory drawings from his Themes and Variations sequence, and his last paintings made in Vence."
"In Paris, the last period is not well known. This part of Matisse's career is closely related with the history of the museum and the national collection here in France."
Henri Matisse, referred to as 'the man who came back from the dead' by nuns, produced significant works after surviving a stomach tumor operation in 1941. The Grand Palais in Paris hosts a 300-work exhibition featuring his late period, including collages, maquettes, and paintings from 1941 to 1951. This exhibition aims to highlight Matisse's lesser-known final years, which are closely tied to the history of the museum and France's national collection, particularly focusing on the 1940s and post-war era.
