Matisse and the Sea offers a new approach to the understanding of
the important painting, Bathers with a Turtle, exploring, for the
first time, the seminal role of African sculpture in the evolution
of the painting. The book reexamines the significant connection
with Cezanne, and provides fascinating new information on the
afterlife of the picture. Matisse and the Sea focuses on the Saint
Louis Art Museum’s iconic painting, Bathers with a Turtle. The
exhibition catalogue brings together related works by Matisse in a
range of media (paintings, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, prints,
textiles, paper cutouts) and objects that influenced the picture,
including African sculpture and painting by Cezanne. It also
includes revealing new conservation analysis. The book examines two
themes related to Bathers with a Turtle. First, the evolution of
the picture, exploring Matisse’s appropriation of a range of
sources as he sought to develop an experimental and novel visual
language. The second examines the afterlife of the picture, looking
at its impact on Matisse’s later imagery of bathers and the sea,
as well as its collector and exhibition history in Germany and the
USA.
