Musée Matisse: Musee Matisse

    • I know it is not a sound behaviour to rush into a museum immediately after arrival to a fashionable Mediterranean resort in summer. I, however, did... That was the Matisse Museum.

    Matisse spent many years in Nice (can you really blame him??), so the city has a considerable amount of his works. The museum is housed in (as well as below) a 17th-century villa, called Arena Villa, and displays all sorts of the artist's works. You'll see drawings, paintings, bronzes, fabrics, artifacts.

    Among things especially worthy of mention are:

    -Blue Nude series, among which Blue Nude IV (done in 1952)

    -Still Life With Pomegranates (saw that even in my school books)

    -Flowers and Fruits (last work Matisse managed to complete before his death)
