Exhibition on Screen: Matisse

A series of art exhibitions from galleries around the world, filmed in HD and screening in cinemas worldwide. This is Matisse, from the Tate Modern Londern.

"Audiences are invited to enjoy an intimate, behind-the-scenes tour of the blockbuster Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs exhibition which opened to international acclaim in April 2014. A giant of modern art, this landmark show explores the final chapter in Matisse’s career, which saw him ‘carving into colour’ and creating his series of spectacular cut-outs. Features interviews with experts including Tate Director Nicholas Serota and friends and relatives of Matisse, and includes rare archive footage of him at work. Cinema audiences can also enjoy breathtaking new performances inspired by Matisse’s cut-outs: Royal Ballet principal dancer Zenaida Yanowsky performs a dance piece reflecting the colours, dynamism and freedom of the cutouts, and jazz musician Courtney Pine performs a piece invoking the golden age of Bebop and jazz greats, the improvisational rhythms of which Matisse compared to his own way of working when making the cut-outs."
