[@juliemarkfield7609]

I have watched endless documentaries during covid. This video thanks to the warm and sincere host has melted my heart.

[@stevebalkin6786]

This documentary a gift to all who recognize the greatness of Matisse.

[@pilierofq]

In the last part when you were crying in the chapel says it all.My 2nd wife took me to see a Van Goth in NYC . I saw his pain and feeling in the paint and I cried. My Nana would say Nico you tough enough to cry ? I am ! Great art brings out great feeling ! thank you for this series.

[@durango-CODEBUILDER]

Yeah Van Goth is great painter. Pretty similar to Van Gogh though...

[@simonegad]

I cried when I saw the Vincent Van Gogh retrospective at age 12-a religious experience for me and also Picasso at MoMA in 1980. Completely understand. Cried when I saw Frank Auerbach's paintings in London Calling at the Getty also.

[@Miss-zk1dk]

Nick qfn sir, your comment brought me to tears. Beautifully said sir. Beautifully said.

[@kennydreadfuls861]

Seeing Francis Bacon painting at the Scottish National Gallery was devastating. Amazing.

[@frankstrilllife9236]

This was amazing and the passion of the host is infectious. He did a fantastic job presenting Matisse. I loved this!

[@truthlivingetc88]

Three in one here - 1 a great presenter 2 a great painter 3 a great programme. mmm we are probably blessed to have programmes like this . . .

[@delmastrodesigns]

I’m an artist bipolar. I yearn for that sense of calm. I cry hearing music but, not usually visual art. When you walked into the church I cried. I felt calm and happy and at peace looking at it.

[@lisengel2498]

Color is a Paradise found and I love the ways Matisse make colors sing

[@lalehfayaz4582]

Remarkable documentary. In tears by the end! Thank you for this informative, emotional, and beautifully narrated documentary.

[@updosystem]

At the end his scissors were so large because they are dress maker shears. He went back to his childhood through those shears. Some times I feel I am crazy because I can't keep my hands still. Seeing him in his bed creating shows me it is ok and wonderful! thank you for putting this together and sharing your passion with us.

[@veritas6335]

The host does a wonderful job of bringing Henri Matisse and his art and talent to life. This production is the best, far superior to the pedantic ponderous and tedious lectures we get from academia. A pity that the film as loaded here has so many skips and glitches.

[@decruzyserao6994]

Absolutely beautiful and brilliant!! Thank you from my heart!! 😊

[@MPHORROCKS]

I love this series. I just wish there weren't sporadic silences after we go to New York. Very moving and inspiring though! :)

[@jerryanchor7471]

Annoying Copyright laws... a different song would have helped for the youtube viewing audience.

[@brooklynbabydoll718]

Interesting how this documentary and many others conveniently forget to mention that Matisse went to Algeria to study African art which clearly heaviy influenced his work.

[@sentry9834]

Without exposure to African Art, there would be no Modern Art. In fact, the story of Modern Art is the story of European artists response to African Art. African Art freed European artists from the Academic realism that dominated for centuries. It gave them permission to explore form in a way they had never done before.

[@camilled.2817]

Creative Thinker do you have any suggestions for books or references that touch on this? I never knew this and would love to learn more

[@sentry9834]

@@camilled.2817 I once owned a book that examined the development of modern art in great detail. Unfortunately it's been lost. Generally, if you study the development of Henri Matisse The Dance and Picasso's Les Damoiselle of Avignon as well as Picasso's collaboration with George Braque in the development of Cubism you'll understand the evolution of their work that led to the development of what is now known as Modern Art. Art Historians rarely want to give explicit credit to African Art as the seminal source material for Modern Art. They like the myth of pure European Artistic genius too much to shed light on the origins of modern art. You'll see references to "primitive" art as secondary influences. Anytime you see "primitive" substitute African Art and you'll have a better understanding. Primitive was a pejorative academics used to undermine non European works of art. In almost all cases the best source's for the truth will come from the Artists themselves. Picasso in particular is very explicit and direct in articulating the power of African Art and the profound influence it had on him and his work. There is a photo of Picasso with his African Art collection. He owned dozens of examples of masks, and figurative carvings. Picasso is one of the best source's. As well as Modigliani, Gauguin and Matisse.

[@sentry9834]

@@camilled.2817 Your question has motivated me to reexamine the development of Modern Art and refresh my understanding of African Art and its influence on European artists. I just downloaded a kindle book off Amazon entitled Pablo Picasso the African Period from 1906-1909. Its said to include 72 paintings that shows Picasso developing a new visual language in response to his encounter with African Art. Hopefully it'll include his thoughts as well.

[@olgaclopez]

I really appreciate how you take us on a journey through Matisse's places and paintings and the impact relationships with the contemporary art and things. A big greeting from Venezuela. Thank so much.

[@edrhinehart]

Great show. Well worth the watch!

[@prickyX]

In 2005/06 I lived in San Francisco at a hostel in the SoMa area. One wall on the fourth floor i dedicated to Matisse's Jazz series. Icarus, le clown and monsiur loyal I'd reproduced on different walls on that floor, then bits and pieces of the other paintings were done over a one hundred and fifty foot wall nine feet high. In 2007 I went back and the hostel had been turned into a boutique hotel... Everything had been painted over. That book was my inspiration, I had borrowed it from the SF library, they got annoyed with me borrowing it. I wished i could have shown them what I had done. Matisse has always been an inspiration in my abstract works, along with Pollock and Riopelle, he always makes me stretch my use of colour.

[@davidblanchard8529]

I really like the words "...The Number One Bad Boy of French Painting," which I'm capitalizing because it should be an official title.

[@paulinawaas9204]

Wonderfully presented! Thank you!

[@lisengel2498]

What a phantastic artist - working from “a tight belt” into total freedom, spontaneity and condensed memory - cantillating the joy of life while drawing with color looking for the essence - less detail, more feeling.filled with love and light

[@devilmtn]

Beautifully moving. RIP Shining Light.

[@MIKOSarts]

@MKLNCJ Your very welcome. It's wonderful that it had a profound affect on you. I wish you a life time of great experiences on your journey into the world of art with this new perspective you now have. As for Henri Matisse, he was a great master in the arts, and his wonderful art lives on to inspire those today and the generations to come..... :)

[@decruzyserao6994]

@ MIKOS Could you please fix the audio: it just cuts off at several points throughout the film... At first, I thought there was something wrong with my tablet... however multiple people have left comments describing the same problem. Thank you 😊

[@simonegad]

maddening that the sound disappeared throughout this wonderful documentary about the great Henri Matisse

[@pilierofq]

I almost thought as some this guy is ? But after a while I came to like him , as he really feels the art. As an artist not a lot of people feel the art, but children always do !

[@jamesscott1189]

the background music MATCHES a Matisse documentary.

Thank you for posting. I'm tethered to an area void of culture, and look to pieces like this for inspiration in all things pertaining to the heart.

[@lisengel2498]

Music and dance are intensified paintings of the most curageous theme of painting - the joy of being alive. Its a true Eye opener to experience how the simplification makes each line vibrate with feelin and sensuality filled with intense pure colors singing out a passionate aliveness

[@mikem3789]

So fascinating these artists, of the most famous names, so many creative individuals to appreciate, on the earth, many not as noticed, comparable to the names that made history books, art history. All still God knows the names, and whomever gets to appreciate the art, artists, the experience. If only one could have enough time to appreciate all the art, creativity, creative people in the world, on all the earth, they’d be there all day, everyday. 😊

I do see his worth. Art is Art. The quality is in the use of the palet not the technical assumption.

[@velvetshyeyes31]

i love how he’s so into the chapel, he got so excited

[@mehrdadmohajer3847]

Once i saw a Mattis in a magazine. I wanted to draw it so i did, without knowing who the artist was. Now it´s hanging in my son´s appartment on the wall & he says some of his friends like & ask about it. What cought my eyes in his painting was its simplicity, rich colors & the motion in one section of painting( here just wind blowing through a curtain ) as compaired to the rest of it which was figurative ( such as woman at rest, a dog, plants & .....) , but motionless .

Renzo with all due respect “the blue nudes” were a series of “prints” a lithograph. Kind of like a screen print. Warhol used this type of style for his “paintings”... Matisse was ahead of his time.

[@renzo6490]

@@edwardsirias8617 Quite right !

I think they messed up at 6:47 because it was Monet who fell in love and married his model Camille, not Matisse. Caroline was the name of the model Matisse had a daughter with.
