Matisse Performance
Jeremy Sutton as Henri Matisse
Tableau Vivant at the de Young Museum, San Francisco, Sept. 14, 2012
In celebration of the opening of the exhibition “William S. Paley Collection: A Taste for Modernism” at the de Young Museum I portrayed the great French artist Henri Matisse in a tableau vivant (September, 2012). During the performance I drew, painted with sumi-e ink, gouache and acrylic paints, sculpted in clay and cut and glued paper cutouts.
