Henri Matisse A Cut Above the Rest(2013 - 2014)
Henri Matisse A Cut Above the Rest(2013 - 2014)
Matisse was one of the most celebrated painters of the 20th century who, even in his own lifetime, enjoyed a level of popularity envied by other artists. But in 1941, after a near-fatal operation for cancer, he decided to give up painting and sought a new way of drawing in colour. Scissors replaced a paintbrush and with the unique skill of a tailor, he set about creating his now famous cut-outs, which have yet to be rivalled for their originality and daring.
To coincide with a major Tate Modern exhibition in April, Alastair Sooke presents a moving and intimate portrait, with contributions from the Tate's Nicholas Serota, biographer Hilary Spurling and Jacqueline Duheme, who worked with Matisse in the late 1940s at this critical turning point in his career.
He was a very sturdy man.🧑🎨♾️🙏
Wonderful Matisse ❤👏 😊
Grazie
wonderful film!
yes, very useful too i think
I have loved Matisse since I was a little child. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
MATISSE WAS A LIVING MIRACLE HIS ENTIRE LIFE ! and although there is no competition in art , he was one of the greatest artists in the history of civilization !
here u go, maybe one of them but sure in the top ranking bunch
Made me cry at the end :(
Oh yes....
My favorite modern artist. Especially his Piano Lesson work from 1916. Cheers!

I think that EVERYTHING Matisse created was dancing.
Yes possible.
Alistair is a Grest teacher. Grazie

Thank you for uploading.......Greetings from London 🙋🏼♀️
You're welcome 😊
Thank youuuu!❤️😘

Great Video!!
Sure is, thank you...
Matisse is eternity made manifest in human creativity for one brief moment in history...we are all made greater by his art.
possibly....thx
Only Matisse?
@@jeffreykamberos7524 - Obviously not … but you fell into the trap of over thinking my comment. I did not say Matisse was the “only” one … I merely (and rightly) expressed my acknowledgement that he was one of (Europe’s) most eternal creatives - and I reiterate “We are made greater by his art.” That said … We could easily write 100 (plus) great global artists from the four corners of the world who achieved the same level.
@@1Ma9iN8tive OOOoo, what a cunning trap! You fell into the trap of over-thinking my light-hearted comment.

Yes, no problem...glad it came in handy.
Thanks for uploading this so-inspiring documentary :3
yes, i risk a little but here it is...cheers
I watched this for an art project. It's pretty good. :)
SAME
Going the same !
II wonder how the paper that Matisse used keeps it bright colors after all these years.
they repaint it and put back together every so often? QUALITY PAINTS HE USED TO MAKE THE COLOURED PAPER I GUESS, MORE LIKE IT......THX , CHEERS
We belong to our time and we share in it`s opinions, it`s feeling, even it`s delusions. All artists bear the imprint of their time, but the great artists are those in whom this is most profoundly marked. - Henri Matisse
Guess he said so, where is your source ?
@@romanowskiart notes of a painter 1908
happy to learn this history upon a once random artist surname i remember from growing up
Henri Matisse, COME ON, IS NOT KNOWING WHO WAS PICASSO, SAME THING...:)
Using this video for homework.
Glad you did....thx fo4 coment.
rest in peace to this legend. today it is!
sure, thx
❤
Many thx
After watching this documentary I realized I'm a master, world famous, artist that just haven't been discoverd yet. My mistake has been not pushing and explaining to people why they should love me as an artist enough. I'm working on another masterpiece at the moment called The Great TRUMPet Player. It consists of a portrait made with dry macaroni pasta on the back of the box which my new paper shredder arrived in. Look out for my documentary in 40 years!!!
I'd like to buy your pasta masterpiece
@@earlspencer7863 We could totally make this happen. Depending on how bad inflation gets in the coming years the work would be worth thousands or even millions. Best investment anyone can make! This is your chance to cash in, my friend!
We will do, 40 years might b3 to late but....will try
You AND Hunter Biden. It's a Golden Age right in front of our eyes!...
Dont ya bother mate, its the wonderful artistical and creative process which counts - and NOT fame . . . and surely NOT money . . .
My favorite one from his designs is The Snail.
Super, thx for comenting

This was great! I had to do an art project on him and it helped a lot! :)
Happy it helped
thank you for posting. fascinating about matisse, though i got a bit irritated by the style of production with its noisy music, overdone visual effects and so on.
yes for sure worth watching....
That chapel at 16:31 is remarkable.
Mind is a ABSTRACT of the station of the cross Le mien est un ABSTRAIT appeler Le chemin de croix
Great, thank# for stoping by.
Andrew Wyeth said artist work because they are artists. Trying to convey what the artist may or may not have meant by the piece of art. Just enjoy the piece. If you over analyze you take the grandeur from the art and the artist.
SURE FUN INFO...
Amazing Art! I see Picasso borrowed a few of his ideas.
Yes, we all do this even not knowingly.
lmao.
Does anyone know what kind of paper he used for his cutouts? I am curious how the colored paper has not faded over time.
heavy cartridge paper painted with artist's quality gouache
Never confuse decorative with art..Matisse went back AND forth from art AND decoration,AND he was aware of it
thx for looking, commenting, Matisse, hard to follow lad....but we like his art forever
Anyone knows how Matisse colorized his papers?
Cut-Outs were artworks made from paper painted in gouache paint and then cut out with scissors. Matisse would choose the colours of paint and his studio assistants would paint the rolls of paper. They would then be weighted down so they dried flat. Matisse would then freehand cut shapes out of them and arrange them into compositions either on flat surfaces or later onto his studio walls. Smaller pieces he pined himself on a board on his lap, while larger wall pieces were put up with pins by his studio assistants with his instruction. supersimple.com/article/henri-matisse-1869-1954-and-his-cut-outs-fine-motor-skill-practice/
Why aren't Tahiti's tifaifai ever mentioned in Matisse's documentaries? Ignorance or inconvenience?
??????????? not a clue, not an art historian person...sorry...

super, you offering?
Henri Matisse had it sadly he lost it. Sorry to say it wasn't people taking 20 years to recognize the paper cutouts and their importance. It's like the Mona Lisa, it did not start out being what it is today, nor did Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi, for many years most people never heard of it till recently. The influence peddlers, Trend Setters, Tast Mackers, and Elitests, Who decide and then manipulate popularise and hype. Don't get me wrong there are many famous artworks and not-so-famous artworks out there deserving their place on the pedestals of the Art World but not because of the names of artists or Dollar signs and Media Hype. A few sayings come to mind #1"The Epirer has no close" Few are willing to stand p a say it. #2 Art is anything you can get away with" #3 The "BIGGEST factor " in the price of art often isn't quality or effort - it's "BRANDING" ! !
Great insight
:-D
Yes thx
This is a chapel Jesus would have been proud to walk into.
great stuff, more lke this. thx
I genuinely do not understand.. why does it matter what story you put on the art? Why would it matter if it represented war, icarus, stars or bombs? I want to know why the art itself is good. Do you need these stories for the art to be good? Why is it memorable or remarkable? Do you need to know the artists story and era for it to be good?
blah s the story matters to the artist when the art was made. It matters to us because we want to know it.
@@rickywei1360 I guess I just believe the art should be able to stand strong on it's own. And I have a hard time believing anyone would be passing by them and thinking they're possibly the best art out there. Even his older stuff, he couldn't draw hands or feet at all. How is that nice to look at? It just makes me cringe.
blah s I see. I guess you are probably a fan of Michelangelo, or Ingres, or Brâncuși. Am I right?
@@rickywei1360 no.. van gogh mainly. They're good tho obviously
blah s I thought you like art to be straightforward and easy to be loved. Vincent van Gogh is very ‘ugly’ to some point.
great stuff just give up the exagerated hand gestures please
Yes, thx
I greatly admire his paintings. I don't like the cutouts.
many thanks
He's important because he influenced later "pop art" which basically corporatized art. The very rich wanted simple easily digestible art they could sell to the masses that discouraged deeper thought and didn't challenge their authority. Art that sells products. That's why they made a talentless hack like Matisse a hero. Same with Warhol and crew.
@Earl Spencer...... Lol... Nice try, you imbecile....... What a load of nonsense. Pathetic.
@@Consrignrant ?
It's "DRAWING", not "DRAWRING" !!!
Fair enough
I cannot stand the host spiting his saliva all over a Matisse masterpiece at 25:37. “Looking at The Snail without its protecting glass is really very special...” really? So you can spit freely all over it? It makes me literally cringe every time he articulates an explosive consonant. I cannot grasp how this is allowed by conservators, one can only think it’s because they do it too.
@dago87able........You're an imbecile.
@@Consrignrant ...
There you go, you found a the spitting thing, omg……hope no one else see this embaracing act
I do this in my school in art class it's called collages
what is your beef?
Matisse and Picasso was one of the frist ones that was doing that. So yeah. If you like it, give a thanks to them.
I belive since he invented it, it would be called cut outs.
I really don't get the appeal of cutouts. Its certainly not "masterly".
I get why Rembrandt and Caravaggio are considered great all-time artists, but I don't get why artists that created works that any junior high art student can create are also considered all-time greats as well.
Raymond Fee sometimes its not about the technical difficulty, its about the successful composition of a picture, a junior high art student could paint it, but not compose, like beethoven's pathetique sonata, vs. bob dylan's mr tamborine man, a beginner musician could play one, bit not the other, it doesnt nessesarily mean the simpler of the two songs was "easy" to write--i hope that made a little sense, the simplicity is the essence of matisse's work, but he makes t look easier than it actually is, like roger federer
Raymond Fee meant "could paint it, but would have a hard time composing a picture of an equal stature without a lot of effort
Raymond Fee also the invention of photography in the 1800's changed painting in a big way, artists feared they would become obsolete, and slowly, the definition of art changed--but yeah, matisse is all about color harmonies and composition, not nessesarily technical difficulty--sorry, im at work, and im so bored, i keep thinking of comments
WELL, NOT SURE WHO ARE YOU REFERRING TO AS JUNIOR, BUT IS YOUR OPINION...
YES, SIMPLE...THX
Matisse stinks! Poop “Working hard to digest his work,” sums it up pretty well.
? ? ? Even Picasso admired him VERY much . . .
childs play art. all colors with no value at all. value first color second remember that.
hmmmm?
