Ambassadors in the Studio: Matisse’s African Art Collection

Explore Matisse’s collection of African art and focus on the way that African art entered artists’ studios in Paris in the early 20th century. Discuss colonialism’s impact on the appreciation of African art in Europe in the same period.

A succint lesson on two art disciplines merged into a delightful lecture. I loved it.

Fantastic. Kathryn Gunsch excellent !

The European colonizers didn't collect, they stole. That should be a lecture in itself.

Great theme, but somehow the curator didn't handle it well. And thumbs up for the person who coughed about 20,000 times during the presentation.

Ummm...why she says pornography so often when it’s clearly not.

MOre than likely the woman in Matisse's painting had steatopegia ( a really large buttocks). So the appearance of the body in the picture is expected.
