Henri Matisse frequently depicted his illegitimate daughter, Marguerite, in various intimate settings across his art, notably in portraits featuring a black cat. Though her face is recognizable, her personal story is not widely known, including her remarkable resilience during WWII as a French resistance fighter. An upcoming exhibition at the Musee d'Art Moderne in Paris will showcase over 110 artworks featuring her, shedding light on her significant but understated role in Matisse's life and work, thus revealing a previously hidden narrative about this renowned artist.
Despite being the subject of many portraits, Marguerite Matisse remains largely unknown to the public, leading to a unique perspective on Henri Matisse's life.
An upcoming exhibition at the Musee d'Art Moderne in Paris will display over 110 artworks featuring Marguerite, many never before shown in France.
