Matisse, a stroke of joy at Paris' Pompidou

Paris, Oct 20 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera-: Ian Langsdon / María Díaz Valderrama) The Pompidou Centre has found a way to escape grey skies in Paris and the decayed atmosphere that reigns 2020 with a wide retrospective on Henri Matisse, which is to open its doors on Wednesday and confirms the famous French painter as a master of joy.FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBITION AT THE POMPIDOU CENTRE.SOUNDBITES OF CURATOR AURÉLIE VERDIER. Translation:"Matisse was moved by great anxiety, and his whole life was marked by the attempt to hide the intense work that was his, he was a hard worker. By ??translating his art with the greatest means economy and the greatest simplicity he ended up characterizing his art with the idea of ??happiness that is his own and that in my opinion is something that he himself claimed.""I believe that the visitor will discover the full dimension of his work, the techniques adopted by Matisse, in his painting but also drawing, key for Matisse, sculpture, less known, the large cut-out collage that unites drawing and colour, drawing and painting ".
