| Summary: | Matisse in Morocco tells the story of the artist's groundbreaking time in Tangier and how it altered Matisse's development as a painter and indelibly marked his work for the next four decades. Through Koehler's research and travel, we experience Matisse's time in Tangier, the paintings and their subjects, his relationships with his wife Am̌lie and his two important collectors, and then come to understand the impact Morocco--its light, colors, culture, and artistic traditions--had on his art. From Landscape Viewed From a Window, to Zorah on the Terrace, from Kasbah Gate to the dream-like tableau Moroccan Caf̌, these works from Morocco are now recognized as some of the most significant and dazzling of Matisse's illustrious career. -- |
