Don't let your group miss seeing this amazing exhibition. Henri Matisse is well known for his paintings and colorful collages, but he also created powerful sculpture. Matisse: Painter as Sculptor brings together more than forty of Matisse's bronze and plaster sculptures, as well as paintings, drawings, and collages from international and national collections. The exhibition represents Matisse's major contribution as a modernist sculptor and painter and illustrates how he worked between these two powerful mediums.
