Hockney – Matisse. Un paradis retrouvé

From 09 June 2022 to 18 September 2022

"As part of the Nice Art Biennale, the Musée Matisse presents an unprecedented conversation between David Hockney and Henri Matisse. After Matisse and Picasso, The Comedy of The Model (2018) and Cinématisse. A Painter and Cinema (2019), this new dialogue is consistent with the museum’s ambition to look at Matisse through the lens of his contemporaries and of his legacy.

The exhibition Hockney – Matisse. Un Paradis retrouvé starts with a recent series of flower iPad paintings which have not yet been exhibited. The show, curated by Claudine Grammont, then takes the public on a journey through the museum’s permanent collection seen through the prism of David Hockney’s art.

Never reduced to simple juxtapositions, the display creates surprising echoes which show what their two worlds have in common, particularly sensual continuity between the studio space and its objects – the mental space of creation – and the outside-landscape, in Nice, Tahiti or Los Angeles. The French Riviera coincides with California through several themes: the swimming-pool, the window and lush gardens.

From room to room, we understand that David Hockney’s work is never far from Henri Matisse’s, whether in the pure lines of his drawings, in his landscapes full of his body and movements, or in his relationship with the model and, more generally speaking, in his desire to embrace reality. Traces of the same uncompromising gaze can be found everywhere in the works of two painters who never stop reflecting on perception and exploring its multiple potentialities. The same desire for colour can also be found everywhere in their art: it gives us pure delight as it opens onto their paradis retrouvé.

The exhibition brings together 70 works by David Hockney, from the 1960s to now, a selection of works by Henri Matisse from the museum’s collection and exceptional loans from the Fondation Beyeler and the Musée national Picasso-Paris. The totality of David Hockney’s works comes from the artist’s personal collection and the David Hockney Foundation, Los Angeles."

🌿🌿David Hockney and Henri Matisse🌿🌿

David Hockney OM CH RA (born 9 July 1937) is an English painter, draftsman, printmaker, stage designer, and photographer. As an important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century.

Hockney has owned residences and studios in Bridlington, and London, as well as two residences in California, where he has lived intermittently since 1964: one in the Hollywood Hills, one in Malibu, and an office and archives on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California.

On 15 November 2018, Hockney's 1972 work Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) sold at Christie's auction house in New York City for $90 million (£70 million), becoming the most expensive artwork by a living artist sold at auction. This broke the previous record, set by the 2013 sale of Jeff Koons' Balloon Dog (Orange) for $58.4 million. Hockney held this record until 15 May 2019 when Koons reclaimed the honour selling his Rabbit for more than $91 million at Christie's in New York.

🌿🌿Henri Matisse🌿🌿

Henri Émile Benoît Matisse (French: [ɑ̃ʁi emil bənwa matis]; 31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French visual artist, known for both his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter. Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

The intense colourism of the works he painted between 1900 and 1905 brought him notoriety as one of the Fauves (French for "wild beasts"). Many of his finest works were created in the decade or so after 1906, when he developed a rigorous style that emphasised flattened forms and decorative pattern. In 1917, he relocated to a suburb of Nice on the French Riviera, and the more relaxed style of his work during the 1920s gained him critical acclaim as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting. After 1930, he adopted a bolder simplification of form. When ill health in his final years prevented him from painting, he created an important body of work in the medium of cut paper collage.

His mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.
