Musée Matisse
Renowned artist Henri Matisse spent the last few years of his
life in Nice and he is honoured by this museum. The Musée Matisse
has several permanent collections, mostly painted in Nice and many
donated by the artist and his heir. The better known paintings
include
Nude in an Armchair with a Green Plant(1937),
Nymph in the Forest(1935/1942) and
Portrait of Madame Matisse(1905). There is also an ensemble
of drawings including
The Créole Dancer(1951) and
Blue Nude IV(1952). Seeing his nude sketches today, you'll
wonder why early critics denounced them as 'the female animal in
all her shame and horror.'
