Henri Matisse – AIC
The French artist Matisse, (1869-1954), is known for his use of glorious color in both his paintings and lithographs. However, this exhibit, according to the Art Museum of Chicago curators, focuses on “the time between his 1913 return from Morocco and his 1917 departure for Nice witnessed the production of the artist’s most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic works: paintings that are abstracted and rigorously purged of descriptive detail, geometric and sharply composed, and dominated by the colors black and gray.“
About 100 pieces will be included in:
“Matisse and the Methods of Modern Construction” * 3/20 – 6/6/10
The Art Institute of Chicago, 111 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois

I'd be bringing a group of art students. Is there an admission for the Matisse exp.?
How much? Discounts for large groups possible?

Jim you should contact the Art Institute directly. They will most likely have a package for instructors and students. #(312) 443-3600
Dear Bob,
I have not yet seen the exhibit, but am eager to go. In the mean time, I have been discussing a Matisse painting on Pandalous.
