Basel Exhibition | Matisse's Invitation to Travel 💙🧡

“There all is beauty, all is measure, Richness, serenity, and pleasure.” The Fondation Beyeler's major autumn exhibition, Matisse's Invitation to Travel, is the first large-scale retrospective of Matisse to be held in the German-speaking part of Switzerland in nearly twenty years. The exhibition features over 70 masterpieces by Matisse, drawn from renowned museums and private collections in Europe and the United States, covering his artistic journey from his early to late periods. 🎨 Themed around Charles Baudelaire's poem "Invitation to Travel," the exhibition is not only a visual journey through Matisse's art but also a re-creation of his travels around the world. "There all is beauty, all is measure, Richness, serenity, and pleasure," Matisse's travels to Italy, Spain, Russia, Morocco, the United States, and Tahiti all influenced his work at different times. The local cultures and his personal experiences and physical conditions in these places shaped the unique characteristics of his creations over time. 🌍 📍 Fondation Beyeler #Basel #Matisse #Switzerland #SwissTravel #Exhibition #Fauvism #MuseumVisit #CulturalLandmark #BeyelerFoundation
