A Talk by Antoine Compagnon

An exhibition on Matisse’s last years, 1941-1954, will be presented at the Grand Palais in Paris this coming Spring 2026. Antoine Compagnon draws on this talk for an article he wrote for the exhibition catalog on the artist’s “late style” and “senile sublime,” discernible in the drawings, the chapel in Vence, and the visionary cut-outs. As a sequel, Compagnon is now developing a podcast, “A Winter with Matisse,” on the model of his Summers with Montaigne, Pascal, Baudelaire, Colette, for France Inter.
