Matisse Does Please


Just viewed Matisse: Radical Invention at the Chicago Art Institute on Saturday.  It closed today (Sunday).  My favorites above.  The bottom, Bathers by a River has always intrigued me - was great to see and realize how it evolved over the span of 8 years.

Speaking of spanning...Renzo Piano's Modern Wing addition to the museum itself is quite amazing - increasing the size by a third. The architecture and design collection is quite nice.
