In the bright light of his final years, Matisse invented a new language: that of cut-out forms and pure color. More than 300 paintings, drawings, books and cut-out gouaches retrace, between 1941 and 1954, the journey of a free artist in perpetual motion.

The exhibition Matisse. 1941-1954 sheds light on the final years of Henri Matisse's career, between 1941 and 1954, through more than 300 works - paintings, drawings, cut-out gouaches, illustrated books, textiles and stained glass - from the Centre Pompidou collection and major international loans. It reveals the multidisciplinary scope of his practice during this period, while bringing together an exceptional group of cut-out gouaches.

Conceived as a journey through the painter's universe, the exhibition recreates the vibrant atmosphere of his ever-changing studio. An invitation to discover Matisse's flourishing "garden," room after room.

Icon of contemporary photography, Nan Goldin is exhibited as a filmmaker. The Grand Palais presents the first retrospective in France devoted to her videos and slideshows, which the artist describes as "films made up of stills". An intimate journey through her life, her friendships, her loves, and her struggles.

After travelling to Stockholm, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Milan, the exhibition now arrives in Paris, at the Grand Palais and the Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, offering a unique immersion into Nan Goldin's intimate, moving, and profoundly human world.

The exhibition is organized by the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, in collaboration with the GrandPalaisRmn, Paris, the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris, the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, and the Pirelli HangarBicocca, Milan.
