The recently-opened Tampa Museum of Art is currently featuring a Henri Matisse exhibit. While there have been many exhibits focused on Matisse’s paintings in the past, this one is different. This display highlights the Fauvist master’s 50-year journey as a printmaker.
The exhibition offers compelling evidence of the important role printmaking played in the evolution of Matisse’s visual ideas. He created over 800 prints during his lifetime and his style certainly influenced the next generation of artists.
