Matisse and Martinique: Portraits and Poetry

This event showcases 28 lithographic portraits by Henri Matisse, created for Posies Antillaises, a book of poems by John-Antoine Nau. The exhibition, curated by Dr. Denise Murrell, not only highlights Matisse’s lesser-known works but also illuminates the transatlantic artistic circles active during the late French colonial period, featuring works by leading artists from Martinique and Guadeloupe.
