Fratino and Matisse: To See This Light Again juxtaposes figure studies, interiors, still-lifes, and self-portraits by both artists. Fratino’s study of the male figure as a central subject complements Matisse’s portrayals of female models, highlighting the individuality of each artist’s point of view. Drawn from the BMA’s Cone Collection, loaned works, and new paintings by Fratino, this exhibition sheds light on the continuing influence of one of the most important artists of the 20th century for artists working today.
