Victoria Martino Lectures on Matisse

Join art historian Victoria Martino for a stunning, revelatory, and celebratory five-week lecture series, illuminating the life and works of Henri Matisse in honor of his 150th anniversary.
Third Lecture – November 12: A Bourgeois in Bohemia–The Paris Years
Gertrude Stein’s purchase of the most reviled of Matisse’s Fauvist paintings launched the artist’s celebrity. He became the darling of Stein’s celebrated Saturday salons, and he founded the Académie Matisse, a Parisian private school where he taught young artists.
