Matisse Inventing and Adapting

Join art historian John Walsh as he discusses the work of Henri Matisse in his later years. In old age Matisse devised flat, spaceless designs of boldly colored and nearly abstract forms that he often cut from colored paper. Weakened by chronic illness, he adapted his techniques and managed a heroic output, including the entire interior decoration of a light-filled chapel.
