Fratino and Matisse: To See This Light Again

Fratino and Matisse: To See This Light Again juxtaposes figure studies, interiors, still-lifes, and self-portraits by both artists. Louis Fratino’s study of the male figure as a central subject complements Matisse’s portrayals of female models, highlighting the individuality of each artist’s point of view.

Drawn from the BMA’s Cone Collection, loaned works, and new paintings by Fratino, this exhibition sheds light on the continuing influence of one of the most important artists of the 20th century for artists working today.

The exhibition is co-curated by Virginia Anderson, Curator of American Art and Department Head of American Painting & Sculpture and Decorative Arts, and Katy Rothkopf, The Anne and Ben Cone Memorial Director of the Ruth R. Marder Center for Matisse Studies, Senior Curator of European Painting and Sculpture. It is supported by Nancy Dorman and Stanley Mazaroff.
