'Matisse: Drawing Life' at GoMA


It goes without saying, that I am beyond thrilled to be able to catch 'Matisse: Drawing Life' at Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA).













Curated exclusively for GoMA by Céline Chicha-Castex, curator of Modern and Contemporary Prints, Bibliothèque nationale de France, independent Paris-based curator Emilie Ovaere-Corthay, and designed by French artist Christophe Cuzin, this exhibition sources from both public and private collectors to explore the fabulous range and depth of Henri Matisse's engagement with the graphic mark.



















As part of the exhibition is a cafe with French-themed pastries and food, and the interactive space for visitors called 'The Drawing Room', an interactive large-scale drawing studio.





















I have chosen to draw 'Red Fish on Round aquarium', my humble homage.









A daily, violinist serenade us as we draw or move through the space to admire the drawings of others. If you prefer to do an electronic sketch, there are plenty of tablets available.







Once again, thank you GoMA for the lovely time well spent!!
