Fakta
In winter of 1912, Henri Matisse was struggling. Once the vanguard leader, the Parisian avant-garde now considered him passé. His important early collectors had stopped buying his work and were fully championing Picasso, and he had exhibited little in the last few years. In the face of Cubism that was now dominating the art scene, Matisse needed to get away from Paris in order to advance his distinctive artistic vision. Almost on a whim, he went to Tangier. Matisse had already been profoundly inspired by Islamic art, and was primed for his arrival in the Moroccan city where such art was integrated into everyday life. Despite challenges, the sojourn was such a success he returned the following winter, which would lead to even greater artistic triumph.
Matisse in Morocco tells the story of the artist's groundbreaking time in Tangier—how it altered Matisse's development as a painter and indelibly marked his work for the next four decades. Through Koehler's research and travel, we experience Matisse's time in Tangier, the paintings and their subjects, his relationships with his wife Amélie and his collectors, and come to understand the impact Morocco had on his art. From Landscape Viewed From a Window, to Zorah on the Terrace, from Kasbah Gate to Moroccan Café, these works are now recognized as some of the most significant of Matisse's illustrious career.
