The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris have just opened a new show dedicated to Matisse's relationship with his eldest daughter Marguerite.
According to the museum's website:
Bringing together more than 110 works – paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and ceramics – the exhibition shows Matisse's view of his eldest daughter, Marguerite Duthuit-Matisse (1894–1982), an essential but discreet figure in his family circle.
The exhibition features numerous drawings rarely, if ever, shown to the public, as well as major works from American, Swiss and Japanese collections, now on view in France for the first time. Photographs, archival material and paintings by Marguerite herself fill out the portrait of this little-known personality.
The show will run until 24th August 2025.
