This exhibition reveals the mystery of  the first 20 years of his career and the awakening of a genius moving  from shadow to light. It honours his early works from the revelation of  painting, and his academic training until the end of his academic  studies in Paris, where he taught until 1911.<\/p>\n<p>This decisive and  defining period of his identity helps us to understand how he grew into a  painter on his Hauts-de-France lands. It dissects the creative process  of the man copying the ancients, drawing inspiration from the greatest  masters of the past and his contemporaries, to shake the codes with  &#8216;luxury, calm and voluptuousness&#8217; and impose himself on the rank of  those he has contemplated.<\/p>\n<p>Text in English and French.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A monograph of Henri Matisse&#8217;s early career and works showing the awakening of his painterly genius.
