Opening Lecture—Matisse and the Sea
Simon Kelly, curator of Matisse and the Sea, will discuss the importance of coastal imagery across the career of modernist artist Henri Matisse, including his artwork of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The lecture focuses particularly on the Saint Louis Art Museum’s own iconic marine painting, Bathers with a Turtle.
