A Matter of Matisse

Italy vacation countdown: T minus 2 days.

A great exhibit on Matisse, and a perfect way to spend an afternoon off. I wish I could tell you all the things I learned about Matisse and his artistic style as I actually did learn a quite a bit.

Overall, thumbs up for (1) the variety of paintings, sculptures, and drawings represented in the exhibit, (2) price of admission - 10 euros, what a deal, (3) the method and ease in which the artwork was displayed, and (4) quite a bit of the exhibition's written narration was in a language other than German. Thumbs down on the audio guide being only in German…I know, but one can hope, can’t she????
