This room contains works by Henri Matisse (1869-1954),
one of the 20th century's greatest artists. The Hermitage possesses
37 paintings by the artist. The Red Room, Dance and Music
were commissioned by the collector Sergei Shchukin especially for
his Moscow mansion. Spanish Still Life and Seville Still
Life (both 1910-11) depict the hotel room where Matisse lived
during a visit to Spain. An interesting work is Fruit, Flowers
and the panel "Dance" (1909), with a composition that includes
the first version of the Hermitage's Dance (now in New York). |
