Escapism refers to the flight from reality into illusions or pleasures. The intensely colorful works of Henri Matisse and his dreamy motifs also serve as an impetus for many to embark on a mental journey into an imaginary world of happiness and sensual pleasure. However, critical voices have also accused the artist of escaping into bourgeois luxury in the face of human and global political crises. In a tour of the exhibition, researchers from eikones. Center for the Theory and History of the Image at the University of Basel take these exciting topics as an opportunity to gain new perspectives on Matisse's work and, together with visitors, explore the concept of escapism on various levels.
