Matisse Exhibit Comes to Long Beach

Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection, an exhibition organized by the American Federation of Arts, that presents rarely exhibited works by two titans of 20th-century art—Henri Matisse (b.1869, d.1954), one of Europe’s most beloved Modern painters, and Ellsworth Kelly (b.1923, d.2015), whose deceptively simple use of color and shape made him one of the 20th century’s most significant and enduring abstract American artists. Matisse Drawings will be on view June 9 through September 3, 2018.
