A Modern Influence: Henri Matisse, Etta Cone, and Baltimore
W035376 | $55.00
Exhibition Catalog
Ed. by Katherine Rothkopf and Leslie Cozzi. Baltimore Museum of Art, 2021.
264 pp. Well illustrated (chiefly col.). 31 x 25 cm. In English. Hardcover.
ISBN 9780578888187
This groundbreaking catalogue tells the story of the more than 40-year friendship and collaboration between the artist Henri Matisse and his champion and patron Etta Cone, which resulted in one of the greatest collections of Matisse’s art in the United States. More than 160 gorgeously illustrated paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, and illustrated books by Matisse—all belonging to the permanent collection of The Baltimore Museum of Art—are presented alongside new scholarship on these masterpieces drawn from close examination of rare preparatory materials and supporting archival documents. In tandem with a reevaluation of the artist’s work in relation to contemporary feminism and social history, in-depth explorations of Etta Cone’s life and collecting practice demonstrate how her bond with the artist provided her with a sense of identity, purpose, and freedom from convention. Baltimore-born contemporary artist Theresa Chromati reflects on Matisse’s relevance to artists working today from the perspective of an unapologetic colorist whose paintings explore the diverse experiences of Black women. A Modern Influence: Henri Matisse, Etta Cone, and Baltimore bears witness to the Cone Collection’s importance to Etta, Baltimore, and contemporary audiences everywhere.
