Anne Théry, HENRI MATISSE'S WRITINGS AND TALKS: THE MAKING OF A DISCOURSE – Matisse Symposium
Channel: Barnes Foundation
Date: 21/11/2016

This talk will probe the state of research on Matisse's writings and talks. It aims to foster reflection on them by exploring the making of the artist's discourse–specifically through analysis of the Notes of a Painter on his Drawing, for which the creative process can be traced.

Anne Théry is a PhD candidate at the Université Paris X-Nanterre and a graduate in art history and literature of the École normale supérieure. Her research focuses on Matisse's writings and talks. She is currently assisting the curators of the next Matisse exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon.

Inspired by the Foundation’s catalogue Matisse in the Barnes Foundation (http://bit.ly/MatisseBarnes), edited by Yve-Alain Bois and published in December 2015, this symposium brings together leading international scholars to examine Matisse in the context of the history of modernism.
