What can be seen in the works of Henri Matisse? Where is the gaze directed within his paintings?
On this evening, the constitution of the gaze will be examined using selected works. In particular, themes such as home and distance as well as concepts such as the other and the, the or the foreign will play a role in the guided tour with artist and art mediator David Karl Max. The starting point will be Matisse's travels and his view of landscapes and models.
Together we will focus on the painterly details and link the effect and application of color to the theme of the journey. Taking into account current research on Orientalism and its influence on art, we will examine how these works represent both the fascination and the critical confrontation with the "other".
Meeting point: Foyer in the museum. The event will be held in German and English and also allows spontaneous participation on site.
"Friday Beyeler" allows you to start the weekend with a relaxed visit to the museum after work. The museum remains open until 9.00 pm and the restaurant until 10.00 pm. From a minimum consumption of CHF 25.00 per person in the restaurant, admission to the museum on the same evening is free. Valid on Fridays from 18.00 - 21.00 hrs.
