This week, we discuss Sarah Stein’s notes on Matisse’s pedagogy from 1908. Sarah, sister-0in-law to Gertrude Stein, was a close friend of Matisse and a pupil in his academy. Her notes give us great insight into Matisse’s process and his approach to different mediums, sculpture, drawing, and painting. Through these we further deepen our understanding of his essentialism and poetic vision.
Works Discussed: Matisse On Art (1978) ed. Jack D. Flam
