Tout va bien Monsieur Matisse

Catalogue of the eponymous collective exhibition at the Matisse Museum, Tout va bien Monsieur Matisse is a work proposing, through more than a hundred works, the different filiations resulting from Henri Matisse's plastic work. These works, paintings, sculptures, textiles, with a claimed, humorous or militant approach, produced by seven confirmed or emerging artists on the international scene, illustrate the legacy left behind by an artist as important as Henri Matisse.

Several theoretical texts, written by specialists and art historians, support the exhibition's purpose by developing the links between the work of Henri Matisse and that of each of the seven artists in the exhibition: Ben, Errò, Marco Del Re, Rania Werda, Patrick Montagnac, KRM and Frédéric Bouffandeau. This book, with its large number of reproductions of works and texts by specialists, aims to provide a fresh look at contemporary creation in connection with one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
This exhibition will be held from April 4, 2020 to January 17, 2021 at the Musée Départemental Matisse in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, in the Nord department. The last part of a series of three exhibitions on Matisse's work, it will lead the viewer (and therefore the reader of the book) to question the way contemporary artists look at the artist's work and whether it remains a source of inspiration for them.
