FRAME is pleased to provide support for Matisse and the Sea<\/em> at the Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM), on view through May 12, 2024. The exhibit examines the significance of the sea through Matisse\u2019s art and career from early panoramic marine views on the Mediterranean to his late paper cutouts inspired by French Polynesia in the Pacific.<\/p>\n

Simon Kelly, Curator of Modern and Contemporary art at SLAM, explains how Matisse not only loved the sea but everything about it: its light, color, and movement. Matisse\u2019s marine imagery was prolific from panoramic sea views and bathers, to the recreation of life beneath the waves. The exhibition includes a wide range of works in a variety of media, including paintings, sculptures, paper cut-outs, drawings, prints, ceramics, and textiles. Most notably the exhibition includes\u00a0the Saint Louis Art Museum’s iconic coastal painting, Bathers with a Turtle.\u00a0 <\/em>For Simon Kelly, the piece \u201cis the Mona Lisa of the modern collection\u201d.<\/p>\n
