Behold vivid, shockingly bold work by a 20th-century master of color, shape, and balance.

Spanning six decades of Matisse’s prolific career, with an emphasis on the artist’s earliest works, this special exhibition features 50 works of painting and sculpture, 30 prints, and the artist’s book Jazz.

Most of the artworks are drawn from the legendary Cone Collection, assembled by two Baltimore sisters–Dr. Claribel Cone and Miss Etta Cone–with an unrivaled passion for modernism and Matisse.

A companion exhibition featuring works by Matisse in the MIA’s collection will further enrich this magnificent body of work.

This exhibit will be at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts February 23, 2104 through May 18, 2014 .

DEAL ALERT: Normally tickets to this exhibition are $12-14 for adults but you can view this exhibition for FREE on the second Sunday of each month.
